My wife and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary on this trip and I have a feeling the rest of the days won’t match this experience as this will be a lifelong memory. The guitar player and the singer( didn’t get their names) were both amazing. Their talent ranks as some of the best I have listened to. I highly recommend this experience.
Excellent at lot if fun for couples
The gondola ride with musicians through the Grand Canal and quiet back canals was amazing! I have no doubt it will be the highlight of our entire trip through Italy. Wow ~ what a life memory for my wife and I.
We booked it with 3 friends, but we had a full 30 minutes on a private boat, with a singer and accordionist on the same boat, without any other tourists!! The songs were also included in the set list of famous songs related to Venice and Italy, which were enjoyable throughout. The meeting place was easy to understand. However, at first I didn't know that the journey to the dock was with the other people who booked the carpool gondola, so I mistakenly thought someone was coming to pick me up. If you speak to an attendant who is guiding you on a carpool gondola at the same time, they will take you! Also, while on the gondola, it’s the same busy street route as other ships, so personally I was a little embarrassed that other ship passengers and people from the bridge would take pictures of our ship and get noticed…
Excellent excellent!!!! Highly recommend The singer she’s definitely a gifted singer and the guy playing the instrument gifted for sure
Absolutely amazing! The gondolier told us about some of the buildings we passed. The accordion and singer were humorous and great. Even the gondolier started singing. Very romantic. Perfect way to end our trip. Be sure to get to the ticket office early. For some reason the reservation we booked months in advance was not in their system so it took about half an hour and 5 different people to figure it out. Everyone was very helpful and nice it just took time. Then we had to walk almost a mile from the ticket office to the gondola station.
Earlier in the day prior to having taken this tour, I was already on a gondola in the afternoon; and let me tell you, the tour is literally twice as good with music and serenading. Definitely recommended.
A real highlight of our trip! The private experience lent itself perfectly to the romance of the moment, and the added feature of the musicians took it to a whole new level!! Absolute perfection!
This was a fantastic experience. I had read some pretty mixed reviews that were quite recent so I was a bit skeptical but I really have nothing but good to report. The gondolier, the singer and the musician were all so great. Lovely time.
The tour was canceled, we found out when we showed up to get on the gondola. We specifically came to Venice for this experience! We have yet to receive a refund. Very dissapointing!
