A must in Venice! I didn't book this days in advance and ended up regretting it as the available spots were limited with short notice, so I would recommend to book ahead of time.
Expected more. It was a beautiful ride however it was very short, no more than 20 min. Walked in large group over to gondola boarding area. Then it was like boarding a Disney ride. If you’re looking for a romantic gondola don’t book this. There are gondolas all over the city! And you can ride privately. When you book with this they try to fill the gondola which holds 5 people
Our gondaleer sang songs and gave some sightseeing tips. Great route as well. Pretty city, loved our breakfast and supper and walk around Venice.
It was fun and happy and a real experience, it was our first time on a gondola and Venice is the only place to do it.
This service neglects to tell you that out of the 40 minute trip, 30 mins is a walking tour through the narrow streets of Venice. Then the actual gondola ride is roughly 5 mins and the app to “guide” you about what you’re seeing doesn’t work and you don’t actually go past any of the things the say you’ll go past. This is the back alley water ways with nothing to see but old broken back buildings for 5 mins.
