San Giorgio Maggiore Tours

The gondola ride offered a classic Venice experience, but the advertised commentary was underwhelming. Aside from a quick guide provided before boarding, there wasn’t much information or insight during the ride itself. It felt more like a tourist novelty than an informative experience. That said, considering the cost compared to other gondola rides, it wasn’t too bad. Just don’t go in expecting detailed commentary or a deeper understanding of Venice’s history. It’s more about soaking in the atmosphere than learning about the city

Great experience when in Venice. As you’re walking to gondola they give you a small overview of the city and the sites that you pass. Once on gondola there is some pointing out of things in the canals. It was fun!

Great value and a must do if you're in Venice for the first time. The Gondola ride comes with 5-10 minutes of commentary on the history of Venice prior to the ride. The ride is shared, meaning you will be on the Gondola with other people. After the ride, there is an optional VR experience that details some more history in a very cool VR video seen with a VR headset in which the history is shown to you visually as well as auditory.
