We were able to take the ride at sunset and it was beautiful. We loved the ride but were taken back 10 min early did t get the whole experience. Our guide never spoke and took us back early.

We wanted a brief Gondola ride to check off this activity from our Venice bucket list. The tour company cranks through hundreds of rides per day. The driver or guy who maneuvered the gondola didn’t speak much english. We knew this ride wasn’t going to educate us on anything but maybe we should have paid a little more to get more out of it. We played our own music to break up the silence but there are a ton of other boats in the water it’s like a taxi jam.

The guides was pleasant welcoming. He told us about the buildings we were passing and was very friendly.

25 min out of 45 and not in the canal. We rode exactly 25 min, the gondolier barely got into a first street off of the grand canal and rode the shortest square block and parked back to the bay. The gondolier was an old man without knowledge of English so we didn't communicate and he didn't say a word Lots of gondola rides around without booking for a cheaper price and no line.

After having such a fun ride sound the island on the water taxi/shuttle, we decided to just do a 30-minute gondola ride instead of an hour. We paid for 30 minutes. They took us back after 20 minutes. When we pressed them on it they just spoke in Italian and then just waved us to get off the gondola. A very short lap around and part of that time was waiting in a congested canal for other gondolas to pass through. The gondolier barely said anything and at one point was talking on his cellphone. Total bust and waste of money. Better Option: Hop on the water shuttle that have seats outside and go island hopping. Enjoy the nice breeze. Much more fun. You just have to wait a bit for some stops to unload most of the crowd and then the rest of the ride is enjoyable.
