Our guide Emma was so friendly and enthusiastic about her city. The experience included a short walk and talk as Emma gave us some history of gondolas. The gondola ride was lovely and cheaper than hiring a private ride.

The time in the gondola is quite short, it's a shame and our gondolier didn't have the typical outfit but the ride is nice. In addition, the initial visit in the streets of Venice with the guide and the experience with the virtual reality headset was rather nice

Friendly and professional guide that gave us information and history throughout the walking tour. The gondola ride was the most exciting and fun experience. The 3d video interaction was also well presented and fun to join with.

Our guide Elizabeth was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing the history of Venice the tradition of the Gondola. The virtual reality experience at the end was very cool although my daughter’s equipment didn’t work so she missed out on that.
