I really enjoyed the event! First, there was a short city tour with a guide, then you get into a gondola with a group of four people, and at the end, there’s a small 3D tour of Venice.

A short and well-priced tour. It's worth it for those who don't want anything grand, but want to do this must-see tour in the city.
