We like it a lot. Before the gondola ride, there is a short tour with a guide who tells us some facts about Venice. We really enjoyed the ride, the gentleman who took us on the gondola spoke Portuguese which was very lucky for us. From then on it was easier to create a conversation and he told us some facts along the way.

We chose not to take the audioguide just to enjoy the gondola ride better. And although we booked a tour in English we we're put in a French speaking group so we didn't understand a word of the tour on ground. So just in case take the audioguide! The gondola ride itself was lovely, definately worth the money .

The gondola ride was absolutely amazing! I've never experienced such silence as I did when sliding through the Venice canals on gondola. It was affordable price (33 EUR for two seats), but I was alone and still the price was decent. I didn't mind being with other people - two young couples, on the same gondola. It was easy to find the meeting point. I'd gladly recommend this experience to other people. I fully enjoyed.

The qr codes are distributed too late when boarding the gondola. After that, instead of enjoying the ride, you are busy with the app. The recipient should also speak German but only should :-( .

Everyone involved (guide, helpers, gondoliers) really put a lot of effort into it. In the end it was a mass processing and felt like 5 minutes on the Canale Grande. Otherwise there was a lot of traffic jams with other gondolas and boats in narrow canals. If none of this bothers you, you should definitely drive. For all criticisms... the maneuvering performance of the gondolier was really masterful

Very interesting to hear the history of the gondola and the meaning of the boats themselves. Beautiful ride through the canals and into the grande canal. Amazing how they guide the boat with just one oar.

Interesting and informative. Perhaps the ride could be a little longer. However, to have a ride in a gondola which is a must do in Venice it is still worth it.
