Good service, unbelievable experience.

It was a horrible weather when it was our turn. We didn’t even know if we were going to be able to do the ride. However as soon as we hopped on, Marco made us feel like it was a sunny day. The góndola kiosk is easy to find and they were very friendly.

Most uncomfortable day.

At the start, I move a little and the tour guide, said “that we need to take a training before we get into the Gondola” become we don’t know how to ride in the gondola. He’s right; we don’t know how to ride on the gondola, but at the start he can mentioned that we can’t move in the gondola for safety reasons, and that will be OK. However he was angry and the way he dictate that we need a training it was very rude, therefore we will NEVER take a Gondola ride on this company. Thx.

We booked a private gondola ride and our gondalier was Diego. He was very friendly, pointed out some key spots to check out along the ride and also in the city in our spare time. And he even sang happy birthday to me in Italian :)

This gondola ride was the icing on the cake of our visit to Venice. We were in a time crunch and they allowed us to go 30 minutes early. Our gondolier was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Wasn’t worth the money

We paid £116 for a 30minute private gondala ride. I booked this as I planned on proposing to my partner. However the gondals we’re back to back and the actual amount of time down the cancels was about 15 minutes the rest was sat in traffic of gondals. Not worth the money at all!

Was ok

The experience was definitely something you must do in Venice, my only issue was that they took us down water ways that were small and had nothing to see. Once reaching the big canal they were some good views and picture opportunities but it was just 5mins at the end. So I'm not sure that it was worth the price, considering you can get the same price paying cash in person for a longer ride.

Confusing finding attraction

We were ran all over Venice trying to find witch vendor we had booked through. We used the adress given on the conformation, and was sent to a dozen different vendors all claiming it wasnt them.Finally after being sent to same vendor and some pushing we were able to get our gondola ride. The ride was great once we got it,but very frustrating overAll.

It was nice knowing in advance the cost and what to expect. I was a little disappointed that there was no interaction from our gondolier and that 10 minutes of the 30 minute ride was basically waiting in line behind other gondolas waiting to disembark. The gondola ride should be experienced at least once, but don't get your hopes up to high with this ride.
