Great experience, my parents loved the gondola ride and the short history about them. The host was very nice to guide me where the gondola sails so I could take pictures of them. The singer/serenade was wonderful too! Definitely worth it

The VR section at the beginning was great. The walk before the ride was very nice. The ride itself was magical. The singer and guitarist were awesome.

According to the ad we booked with this company as they offered 6 passengers. Fine only 5 but questioned.They were extremely rude and argued with us re our booking, paper vouchers and electronic proof of purchase. After an hour they realized we were not Leaving so put us in boats. 3 of us were with the musicians and had fun but the others couldn’t hear the music well as the gondolier was on his cell the whole time. Our gondolier was yelling at us when we were getting out. Take your chances

It started 10 m-minutes late, but there were also 10 minutes longer, sometimes you say two, sometimes four and sometimes six people in one gondola, more than ten gondolas went from the main canal to a side canal and then it went back there, the singers and the instrument players you could hear the gondola took turns so that everyone could enjoy it) was far away of course you couldn't bike that much so 50 percent music guarantee

Lovely gondola ride with guitar and vocal from another boat. They were so talented! Disappointed the singer was not in our boat but still a great experience.

Due to the forecast of rain, the office was nice enough to change my reservation to earlier but that caused me not to get a serenade. Unfortunately, they would not refund me the difference. The ride was nice but quiet. The guy didn’t talk at all, so rode around not really knowing what we were looking at

Luckily we were in the same boat as the musicians and it was the best part of our Italy trip

I thought the trip was very good... it was quite bouncy and there was a long wait in the queue before boarding but the guys were brilliant at getting everyone on and off the boats. The trip itself wasn't very long, but the singer and the accordion were audible across all the gondolas and the journey through the grand canal followed by a number of smaller canals was very good. Everyone who heard the singing or accordion music was smiling and waving and even some danced by the side of the river - overall a very good vibe - feel good trip. Glad we did it.
