The best experience I can have. The greaters are lovely and friendlu. Explained how to use the equipment. And the guide told about Venice very clearly and made us fall in love with the city. Thank you for everything

Interesting trip around the grand canal. The gondola is very beautiful. The only thing is that the "driver" was more interested in checking his phone than in interacting with ourselves. And if we were to do it another time, it would be ourselves alone in the Gondola, sharing takes a bit away from the experience.

we had a guide keen on history and we were only two people so privileged visit, on the other hand a little light content: a demo in a single glassware (where we spent most of the time visiting the store with the seller on our heels) + visit to the basilica, the rest of the island is apparently not planned in the program (too bad!) .. but very helpful guide in any case (to help us find the right shuttle boat to leave )

Very enjoyable experience, a "must do" in Venice. I was travelling alone and it would be expensive to book a gondola on my own, so it's perfect if you are ready to share a ride with other people. Everything was organized according to the description, the guide was friendly and informative.

The tour was excellent with a wonderful guide who was passionate and knowledgeable about all the history and very helpful making sure that we all heard her and answered all of the questions. 5 stars for her

It was a very nice experience. A must do in Venice. For private gondola rides you'll pay more than double the price for the same duration of time. (30mins). Instead you can share a gondola with max 5 people. You only get a guided audio video, no tour guide (we were told it was because of the weather, it was a rainy day). Which was a bit of a setback cause it is written in the description that you'll get a tour guide explaining some things to you for 20 min before the ride starts. Which did not happen. Although we were fortunate to get a very nice and friendly gondolier, who explained some things to us. Yet it is a bit hard though to keep up with the audio + the gondolier explaining things (not always coinciding with the audio) + trying to enjoy the view and taking pictures/videos). So in the end I think it would have been easier to have gotten a guide, it would have been more organised and I think we could've enjoyed it more.

I would have liked there to be 2 groups, French, then English. Too bad not to have received more info during the gondola ride. Our group's headphones weren't picking up the news towards the end on the Grand Canal.

It was absolutely stunning! Knowledgeable tour guide (only before the tour - no commentary during the ride) Gondolier was a great happy chap! Singing,talking to other Gondoliers which made the tour even more authentic. Go for it! Great experience.

Our guide, Alessia, made all the difference. She was absolutely wonderful. As a native Venetian, she had an amazing grasp of the history of the city and its art, and conveyed it all in a very comprehensible manner. I learned way more about Venice than I had expected.

Beautiful experience, thanks above all to our guide Alessandra who was able to involve us with sympathy in the story of Venetian history during the introductory walking tour, especially that relating to the Grand Canal, gondolas and gondoliers. This was followed by a gondola ride of about half an hour, during which the gondolier was equally available to answer any questions we might have.

Sandra was amazing. She was full of knowledge. I wish we could have spent more time in the church instead of the doge area. They called us the day before to change time of tour. We agreed but it did cause us to have to rush to dinner. The toilet and shopping time is too short so we didn’t get to buy a book. Very good guide thank you

The gondola ride was sensational. Able to venture beyond the streets to see the real tradition and build of Venice. It was difficult to find the meeting point, which looked abandoned shop during our recce, so we were a little worried before. Then when we returned at the booking time it was ok. The ride itself was excellent. However the tour guide and gondola chap had little interaction with their clients which was disappointing. Seem to tolerate tourists, but they need to remember tourists work hard all year to earn their money to come and spend on holiday, and just a bigger smile and a few more words to their clients would make all the difference. Sadly this seems a common occurrence in Venice.

The guide does not go in the gondola giving explanations. At the meeting point, the guide walks with the group to another point where the gondola leaves, and it is in this walking section that he explains a few things about Venice. Once you get on the gondola, the guide is no longer with the group, other than at one point on a dock when the gondola passes by. It is worth it just to save a few euros, as it is more expensive with the gondoliers, on site and at the time.

Incredible experience. The weather was not good but it is highly recommended. The very professional guide, explaining the history of the area in Spanish and English. A gondola ride is one of those things that everyone should do once in their lives.

Fantastic tour with Giovanna, an extremely nice, hard-working Venetian woman who speaks perfect German. Very well organised, extensive and interesting information about Murano and the history of this small island. Lots of new impressions and, above all, good memories. Absolutely great and highly recommended! We (Nina and Jürgen) say thank you dear Giovanna

The guide (Lorenzo) was very knowledgeable and friendly. I really enjoyed learning from him all the interesting things about Venice and he customized the tour to what I was interested in (lucky for me I was the only guest). And he even helped make a reservation at an excellent restaurant. I learned a lot about Venice and had amazing food.

We chose a private tour with a guide to the island of Murano, and it was a very pleasant experience, a far cry from group tours. Our guide took the time to tell us about the history of Venice and we visited places far from the tourist crowds. We stayed in Venice for four days, and this outing was by far the best. Grazie mille!

Staff are very friendly and the meeting location was easy to find. A nice overview is given before the gondola ride and while on the Grand Canal. The ride itself was lovely and relaxing and our gondalier even sang a little song and pointed out a few places of interest :) Head to Emilio Ceccato beside the Rialto bridge afterwards to pick up the shirt all the gondaliers wear from the nicest lady who works there.

We found the meeting point very easily, everything was organised as lots of people meeting there. We shared the gondala with 2 guys - it was great. We had headsets given to us, the guide spoke both Italian and English perfectly and with finesse! Would highly recommend

Punctual and precise. It was easy to find the kiosk. For the explanations in Spanish, they gave us an application that we downloaded on the phone and that worked very well, although I would have liked more if the guide spoke to us in Spanish; either way we really enjoyed the ride
