Gavin V.

A great welcome from our guide Thomas who really amused us with in addition really lots of interesting details. A Venice seen differently. I, who am not very good at English, understood our guide quite easily, who spoke very well and softly enough.

Time respected, gondolier and friendly guide, we had a great time on the water.m (about 50 min). Our guide could have taken pictures of us in improvement and exchanged a little less with the gondolier.

Il tour è durato 30 minuti, siamo arrivati prima e sono stati gentili nel non farci aspettare e siamo partiti subito. Il gondoliere è stato simpatico, disponibile nel dare informazioni. Super consigliato

Our gondolier, Michael, was a delight. Very impressed with the smooth manoeuvering of his beautiful gondola. We were also treated to an impromptu song. Definitely recommend!

It was a very pleasant round tour through the lagoon of Venice, past the natural uninhabited islands to Burano and then back via Murano to Venice. The setting sun led to a wonderful evening mood on this cloudless day.

Dennnise

It was nice to have a reservation and not have wait. Nice tour of the canals.

We had an amazing time on this private gondola ride. I was quite nervous at first as I had read a few negative reviews. But our experience was positive and amazing. Our gondolier was friendly, informative and courteous throughout our journey. I would highly recommend this. Great way to avoid the queues!

Fun gondola ride but the guy rowing the gondola did not speak one work and it was advertised as 30 mins was actually 15 mins max very rushed

Our driver was really nice. What we didn’t like is that one old guy who works there, when we finished the ride asked us in a not nice way (a bit aggressive) to put our tip for the driver in a basket. We wanted to give a tip but they should not talk in that way to their customer.

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

We arrived well in advance before we had booked, and were so well received. sweet and friendly staff, and a really beautiful walk, also through the small and quiet canals. As a bonus, my boyfriend proposed to me during the trip.
