ベネチアプライベートゴンドラライド：隠れた運河と名所を探索

a nice gondola and guide, but very crowded and difficult to locate. the pick up location

My partner and I booked the 1-hour private gondola ride. I thought from the description of this tour that our gondolier would point out more of the landmarks. He did point out some landmarks, but he also spent time on a phone call. Here are some things I wish I would have known: Finding the exact spot where we would be picked up was a real pain in the butt to find. Venice is a walking city, so we used Google Maps to navigate from our hotel by St. Mark's Square and the directions were pretty challenging. Don't Google the name of the Gondola company (the map will send you to the wrong spot). Instead, enter the address on your booking confirmation. Also, if you get even the slightest bit motion sick, take some Dramamine beforehand. Our hotel in St. Mark's Square was quite a distance from the gondola pickup spot for this tour. we had a gondola pickup right outside the front door of our hotel. If we'd have known better, we wouldn't have booked this tour and we'd have just left from the hotel.

We had an amazing time on this trip - the city of Venice is stunning and a gondola is by far the best way to experience it. That being said, this was a little overpriced in my opinion, and it wasn’t really a “tour”. The gondola (driver?) was very pleasant and helpful, but he didn’t really tell us much about the city. I think he spoke 4 or 5 times over the hour, and we struggled to hear him over the engines from other boats. It seemed like every building was a former palace, so perhaps we didn’t miss much. I would recommend this if you need the certainty of a particular time slot, but if not, I would just find a gondola during your visit.

The 40 minute gondola ride with Nicole was great. We went at 7pm on a late Septemday so the canals were quiet and the sun was low. It was a beautiful way to see the city. The thirty minute ride was relaxing and just the right length of time. Highly recommended.

You cannot vis Venice and not take a gondola ride. It was a wonderful experience. We saw beautiful parts of Venice o this trip. Our gondola operator was very peronable and knowledgeable.

It was lovely, we travelled through the much quieter canals and it was lovely to hear about some of the historical parts of Venice including the architecture and the previous residence that lived there.

Easy, peaceful and off the beaten track as well as the classics! Gentle commentary and recommend the 1.5hrs

We were 5 minutes late due to another Viator issue. But they still honored it. Our guide did give us some history. We only did the 30 minutes, which I would suggest doing a longer one. We didn’t get to see some of the more well known places.

Easy meeting spot. We got there early and it was not a problem. Nice driver. Romantic. Very nice ride. Highly recommend.

Great experience….Thanks A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
