Sarah did a great job sharing a little history about Venice and gondolas during our mini walking tour towards the gondola service. Weather was perfect and ride was smooth. Don't expect the gondoliers to speak to you but the silence was golden as you enjoy the ambience! Great experience overall.

No commentary as advertised. Probably better gondola rides and locations in Venice - more inner city would be better. Wouldn't recommend. Suggest paying a little more for a more personal ride.

Well organised by guide. Gondola ride was lovely and through the back street's of Venice. However please be aware when booking that you may be split into different Gondolas even if there are 2 of you. This happened to couple in the group..

The experience was not a good one, but not because of the activity itself, it was the weather. It rained torrentially. But well, it will be pending for a next trip.

It was a great experience with 15minutes walking tour, followed by 30minutes gondola ride. Our family got a gondola for just 4 of us. it was an awesome sunny day in Feb, calm waters, just relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of Venice. Both our walking tour guide and the gondolier made it a memorable trip for us. This package is definitely recommended for others too.
