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.

A really lovely experience going up the tiny canals and seeing all the little nooks and crannies of Venice. So very unique. Wonderful!!

We thought that we would have the gondola to ourselves, but we shared it with another couple, which wasn't a big deal. But the other couple rushed into the gondola to grab the nice seats closer to the gondolier, so we weren't able to take any pics there. Overall though, I would recommend, but just know that you'll be sharing the gondola ride with up to 5 people max.

Brilliant value for money lovely chatty informative Gondolier who even gave us a song. Sailed around the tranquil side canals and the Grand Canal for half hour. Would highly recommend. 👍👏🏻

You can't see Venice without gondolas. Gondola ride is an absolute must, unbelievable how they push the long boat through the canals with those sticks, without hitting anything. It's a pity that the gondolier didn't tell much and certainly didn't sing O sole mio. A little more enthusiasm there would have been great. And the chance to take a photo with your partner as you board

Overall very good. A bit chaotic when the guide was trying to organise a group of about 50 people onto the gondolas though.
