The Best Private Gondola Rides in Venice

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.

Beautiful Gondola ride however not much of a guide & lots of traffic however memorable & special

Thomaso was an excellent guide. He was so stressed as 3 of our party were late & he was so apologetic, we ended up leaving after waiting 15 minutes for these people who said they were 5 minutes away. Apart from that, which was down to those people who have no problem making others wait, it was one of our best experiences during our stay. Thomaso was good fun, so knowledgable & shouldn’t do enough for us. We would highly recommend this trip. Our photos are amazing. We met a lovely German family & a great guy from New York on the trip. The Prosecco was really good quality too.

Great tour with our guide Tomaso. Lots of exciting information. Thank you for the wonderful time.

It was lovely and a very nice chill experience. We went later in the day. Not as hot. Would definitely recommend doing this. Saw people standing in lines trying to get gondolas. Easier to pre order/ reserve. We found our destination easily and we were immediately taken to the gondola!

Was ok, the guide was not fluent and couldn’t explain a lot. This was unfortunate. However the tour was nice,

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

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.

We arrived too late, but were immediately allowed to take a seat in the gondola. The armadillo was very nice and they took another nice picture of us.

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.

Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. We saw parts of Venice and the islands we had never seen before. Very informative and enjoyable. The boat was great plus proseco and soft drinks. Don't miss this. It is well worth it.

Very nice experience. Our gondolier gave us a little guided tour.

Very beautiful memory.

Our guide was awesome, the city was beautiful, couldn’t have been more pleased.

Excellent service and the guide was very professional. Gondola well prepared for the ride (clean)

The gondola tour was very relaxed. Unfortunately the tour was over after just 20 minutes

Tomaso was simply brilliant and the tour to the different islands when the sun sets was a highlight of our Venice trip

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.

fantastic gondolas, nice walk through old town and cozy and fun musicians. definitely worth the money.

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.
