Amazing - a must in Venice. The location was easy to find and the gondola ride was fantastic. A very friendly Gondolier. We arrived really early as we were in the area but the Gondoliers said it was no problem and they took us there and then.

We had a very enjoyable gondola ride (one and only as newlyWeds) with our guide. Luckily the weather was perfect and the guide told us interesting facts about the different historically significant buildings along the canal as we passed them. The trip felt like the perfect amount of time for a short afternoon activity after we toured the Basilica and Palace all morning.

Very kind gondolier, very nice the 'manager' of the voucher acceptance. Having booked online I thought I would save some money and not spend 40 euros more. I hope that at least part of these 40 euros will remain with the gondolier and the 'manager' because they are truly extremely available

It was fun! He gave good explanations and the gondolier was very good at sailing. A fun way to see Venice from a different angle.

Lovey experience that you can’t miss out in Venice. Having a private gondola was very much worth it, and going in the early morning gave us a much better experience. A shout out to the great captain of the gondola we had, very engaging and friendly!
