An evening Gondola ride is a must do in Venice. It was fabulous to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canal and then slip down the quieter canals under the stars. Our Gondalier was fabulous telling us stories and pointing out things we may have missed.

the activity was as expected. the boatman spoke a little about the sights and kept quiet most of the time which is my preference.

Decent tour - about 25 minutes in total . About 10 Minutes in the grand canal and the rest in small canals although not the most beautiful ones. Main reason we chose this booking was the departure point was not at st Marco and therefore uncrowded and it was easy to find . In mid October it was not necessary to book in advance as we passed many vacant gondolas for cheaper fixed price but in high season I expect it is necessary to book.

Transportation to the activity was us walking there, and that was fine! Google maps came in very handy with the winding walkways and narrow alleyways. Our tour guide was very pleasant and told us a little bit about the history of the city and the special sights to take note of.
