An hour Gondala and supper was never worth 239 CHF , I thought the gondala would a little not just around the block and Dinner was awful to say the least, not a real restaurant

When we arrived for our pre-reserved and paid for ride the operator said there was no boat to take us and he was very rude... we should have been contacted in advance. Then he told us to come back in an hour but we did and he never showed up! We walked a LONG way to the restaurant to make sure we could eat later (and they were very nice) but it was too far to go back when we never got our ride. I had better receive a refund! There are plenty of GREAT gondoliers in Venice... I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

The Gondolier was informative, attentive, very accommodating! He did a great job! Took his time, was not hurried and was very informative! The dinner was delicious! Fortunately the gondolier directed us to the restaurant. Google maps does NOT work well in Venice! The dinner was good, but, they did nickel and dime on many items! Finally, again La Vacanza Travel/Trip Advisor really needs to do a better job of communications on the meeting place. Again we had to call in to get specific instructions before we were able to locate the meeting place.

We booked two tours with TRIP ADVISOR in Venice. BOTH were incredibly challenging to find the meeting personnel! Both times we had to call and the person we chatted with had to call the operator to get us connected. TA needs to do a better job of describing the point. The Fall in Love tour was superb! Our Gondolier was fantastic. He took a special interest in us. Was very informative and took his time. There was no rush at all. VERY nice and recommend this tour. The dinner following was the best tasting dinner we had in Venice. While they "nickel and dimed" us, the taste was excellent
