Bridge of Sighs Tours

We thought that we would have the gondola to ourselves, but we shared it with another couple, which wasn't a big deal. But the other couple rushed into the gondola to grab the nice seats closer to the gondolier, so we weren't able to take any pics there. Overall though, I would recommend, but just know that you'll be sharing the gondola ride with up to 5 people max.

According to the ad we booked with this company as they offered 6 passengers. Fine only 5 but questioned.They were extremely rude and argued with us re our booking, paper vouchers and electronic proof of purchase. After an hour they realized we were not Leaving so put us in boats. 3 of us were with the musicians and had fun but the others couldn’t hear the music well as the gondolier was on his cell the whole time. Our gondolier was yelling at us when we were getting out. Take your chances

We had a delightful ride with Diario. He was so proud of his family’s legacy and we were excited to hear the details of his fathers work. We rode in his family’s 32 year old gondola and he even pointed out his fathers home. It was fun to hear the gondoliers banter while riding the canal. It’s a very quick ride under the bridge of sighs and back again. Time flies when you’re having fun!

One great attraction to complete the visit at the Doge’s palace and a greatly informed guide. Kristian gave a english and italian tour of the main rooms of the prison and explained the torture devices so nicely and fun to enjoy, for kids as well, since we had some in the group. Fantastic experience!

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

Valentina was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable. It was evident she loves Venice and you could feel her enthusiasm! She was also very patient with our group as there was flooding and it took a while to walk on the platforms to the Basilica.

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.

We were satisfied with the visit, although the price is slightly high for what it offers. Luckily the tour was enriched by the explanations of our guide Cristian who made the visit very interesting and pleasant! ◡̈
