The Best Private Gondola Rides in Venice

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

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.

Nice views and smooth ride, but I wish there had been some historical explanation or audio guide.

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.

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

An experience that should be lived at least once in a lifetime. Exciting, suggestive. I lived it with husband and children, and we were all enchanted

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

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.

Great ride with lots of information.

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.

A relaxing way to see the Grand Canal — no need to walk or worry about directions.

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

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

We enjoyed a nice ride on the gondola. Clementine (I think) was very good tour guide. She explained a lot about Venice’s history and the buildings along the smaller canals and then on the Grand Canal. Grazie mille for a lovely experience!

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

Really fun guide boatman, very informative and nothing was too much trouble, definitely recommend trip.

Very beautiful memory.

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

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

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!

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!

It was easy to find, easy to just give the tickets to the person and get on our gondolas! The ride was relaxing and peaceful. We loved seeing the sights.

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.

Beautiful ride, very nice guide and precise in the stories, wonderful day it's worth it! All accompanied by good prosecco
