The venue did not have me listed. The gondola ride was less than the 39 minutes it was supposed to be. The guide however was informative and entertaining

As lovely as sitting in a gondola is, you only get max 30 minutes and the time goes so quickly. And it can get very busy, we had one point where 9 gonldola's were queuing to get under a bridge !! So yes we were happy to have done it but i would suggest you look to do it in the least busy place in the city, and not by Rialto/San Marco areas. Do your research !!!
