It’s a gondola!!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our young gondolier waited for us as we were running a bit late. He was very informative about the area and the uniqueness of Venice. It was a tad chilly but well worth the effort for this iconic ride.

Enjoyable

Seeing the view of Venice from the gondola on my birthday. Going through the narrow canals and the residential district

Romantic and memorable

Published on Mar, 2024

The private gondola ride with serenade, beautiful scenery and hospitality for a nice romantic evening

Fall in love with Venice

Published on Aug, 2023

The Gondolier was informative, attentive, very accommodating! He did a great job! Took his time, was not hurried and was very informative! The dinner was delicious! Fortunately the gondolier directed us to the restaurant. Google maps does NOT work well in Venice! The dinner was good, but, they did nickel and dime on many items! Finally, again Viator/Trip Advisor really needs to do a better job of communications on the meeting place. Again we had to call in to get specific instructions before we were able to locate the meeting place.

Romantic Fun

Published on Jul, 2023

The Gondola experience was what my wife had been hoping for and our gondolier was first class all the way. We even forgot our back back and he got the tour operator to call us so we could go back.
