Eloise H.

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.

The best thing we did in Venice. Great experience, even the virtual reality tour of the history of Venice to start it off

I would say this was the funnest 30 minutes I had in Venice. Singer and music we’re fabulous! We did have a little Gondola traffic jam in one canal, it was actually fun to see how all those boats got past each other. I would definitely advise to do this tour!

There was no serenade. One man 10 gondolas up sang 1 song that we heard the last 30 seconds of. Speaking with Viator rep we were given the impression we would have a singer with us. Even if not, hardly 10 boats away didn’t cut it. Don’t pay extra for serenade!!!!
