Classic 30-Minute Gondola Ride in Venice

I was not aware that we were sharing the gondola. We arrived and ended up sharing it with 2 other people. Luckily they were nice and we talked and took each other’s pictures. Our driver did not say one word to us or sing any songs. When we were taking photos he would look away and at one point he was on his phone. What a disappointment! I would choose a different company next time. I’m just thankful the ride was only 30 minutes. They also rushed us getting in and getting out of the gondola. I don’t recommend taking this tour.

Gondola ride start to finish was excellent well worth the booking and value for money Gondolier guided us around the maze of canals ,that is Venice, with ease Well done

We enjoyed the gondola ride and once off the main canal it was peaceful. Just one thing when you get to the main ticket office/pickup point change your voucher to a ticket at one of the offices.

It was a fine gondola ride! Our gondola guide did not talk with us which was fine! 30 minutes went by fast!

Amazing Experience riding the Gondola in Venice. It was a relaxing ride along the Grand canal. We would definitely do it again.

I would rate this as zero stars but I had to select one star to get to the comments. Our gondola driver did not greet us as we got on the gondola. He did not speak to us once to tell us a little about what we were seeing. He did however speak to the driver of the gondola in front of us the entire time. It was a heated discussion. It was not relaxing in any way and it was extremely loud with that conversation. When we returned they were very quick to ask for a tip. We should have been given a refund. Not a good impression for our first visit to this beautiful city.

This was a very special experience, which we will remember. Expensive, but worth the money.

Sadly, we didn’t even get to go on the experience because they told us to wait at a certain place, in which we did. They never came for us and then left without us. When we asked about it, they said it was our fault and there was nothing we could do. Our kids were super disappointed. I requested a refund and was denied, even though we followed their peoples instructions. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND

SCAM! Do not book this tour. Voucher ticket was for large group that was broken into smaller parties for gondola ride. Cost of voucher was double what the actual cost for family of 5 if purchased in person at the gondola. Meeting was a group so gondola ride was not private. Gondola location was dirty and boat was broken with ripped cushions and no English speaker.

While not designated when you purchase. This is a SHARED ride experience. We chose to not take part and let another couple have a private tour. All over town you can walk up to the gondolas and for the same price (or if more than 2 in a group) even cheaper. Do not bother
