Gondola ride

My guide, Veronica, was lovely and spoke clearly and was interesting. The gondola took a really pretty route, and with only 5 of us one there it was very relaxing. The experience was great and definitely worth what I paid for it! Thanks!!

Biggest waste of money ever

Was listed as a 15 walking tour with guide to gondola and then 30min gondola ride. Neither happened as such. 3 min crappy ‘virtual reality’ video with goggles that you have to hold and barely 10 rant from the ‘guide’. The gondola ride went for 12min and didn’t cover the path of the full audio guide. A guide that was cutting in and out on 3 different cell phones. Worst tour yet.
