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

We learned so much about the inception of Venice and the history of the gondolas! The VR info at the beginning was such a great addition. So romantic and fun.

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!

Doing the gondola in Venice is a must! just be aware that the serenade and music is spread out and it’s not in each individual gondola. But they did a wonderful job at but they did a wonderful job at projecting the voice and music. Would recommend and carnival mask that’s included is beautifully made.

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.

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!!!!
