The ABSOLUTE best experience ever in Venice. A special request for a little person on his birthday was also catered for by the serenade singers. Thank you Roberto and Tiziano. The tour operator and the agent from La Vacanza Travel were also super helpful. An evening gondola ride with serenade is a must-do when in Venice. There are lots of gondolas but when the singer is singing, everyone was looking at our boat and clapping! Overall the best highlight of my trip. The ride is about 30mins long but goes pretty quickly when you're enjoying yourself. Kudos to everyone making this possible. Thanks!

The gondola ride itself was cool, but I was disappointed with the serenade. The singer was on a different boat but our boat was far ahead of him and we could barely hear the singing. At times we couldn’t hear him at all. I wish I didn’t pay as much for a “serenade” because we didn’t even get one. Again, gondola was nice and the workers were nice, but it felt like false advertising in my opinion.

This was the most magical experience we could’ve asked for! It was the cherry on top for our Italian honeymoon ❤️

Trip took you around the back of buildings with no sites to see. The serenade was on another boat and when I asked they said it says in the statement in surroundings boats. Also other guests had their backs to their surroundings. Dissatisfied. People nice.
