Hidden Venice: Private 30-Minute Gondola Ride

It was enjoyable, though quite short for the price. Still, a classic Venice experience.

What an amazing experience! Definitely worth it doing a private ride. I had my elderly mother (65), young son (8), teenage daughter (16), and myself and we all had a great time. Venice is GORGEOUS!!

The gondoliers were so friendly! Their jokes and songs added real charm to the ride.

A must-do in Venice. The movements of the gondola on the water are so calming.

Meeting point was easy to find, instructions were clear and the staff were friendly. Great experience.

Very smooth system. They also kept our baby strollers at safe place and returned us back at the end of the ride.

We had booked a gondola ride at 7.30pm only for the two of us. Since we had read in the reviews that the office is not so easy to find, we left earlier. With Googel Maps that was no problem at all. Since it was our turn earlier, the employee asked us if we wanted to drive earlier and where we were we said yes. She wrote a new time on the slip of paper we went to the stop at the Hard Rock Cafe where there was a long line but we were led straight to the next arriving gondola and off we went. It was a special experience from time to time we saw or heard the gondola with musicians. So I enjoyed it very much, I enjoyed it and it would not have occurred to me to look at the watch for how long we were on the road.

We enjoyed the gondol ride through Venice with our gondolier who was Nice to tell us about the history and tips on where to eat, which was a great Italian restaurant.

Had a great 40 minute private gondola trip for just the 2 of us. Yes we could have done it cheaper if we had taken a shared gondola but we wanted a special romantic experience which it was. Our gondolier was superb talking us through the sites and buildings along the way. A special day.

Our gondola ride was perfetto! Primarily due to the excellent service and information we received from our gondolier!!
