Uncomplicated, good management, a nice trip through the canals of Venice. Although it did not last long (we took 30 minutes) it gave a good impression of the famous gondolas.!

Easy, convenient, perfect even if you are traveling solo so you can who the experience sharing with other your ride what makes it cheaper than if you book a private one. Well organized, improve my experience in Venice :)

I was expecting a much more romantic ride, that's how it was supposed to be, instead it was getting on a boat, going through a few canals and getting off again, I didn't find it attractive or relevant at all. Our gondolier was a man rather sparing with words, I asked him a couple of questions and his answer left me rather indifferent, that is, I could tell he was already a bit fed up with taking tourists from one place to another with the gondola, if he doesn't like his job, let him do something else. I have read comments from people who paid for the same experience and spoke of the friendliness of their gondolier, but we had the most passive gondolier. I would like to highlight the efficiency of the person in charge of taking us from the point of origin to the pier, very professional and efficient, he always made sure that the group was complete. Otherwise everything was fine.

Authentic gondola ride along the canals and the most emblematic sites of Venice such as the Bridge of Sighs. Being shared (there are 5 seats) the price is much more economical.
