What can I say apart from breathe taking, the ambiance of Venice and the amazing singing was truly memorable. It’s something you should definitely get when visiting Venice, our singer had a beautiful voice both me and my husband really enjoyed it.

We had a day trip planned to Venice from Florence. Our train was delayed leaving Florence by 1 hour. Nothing we could do about it. We reached out along the way, and they said if we didn't get there at the originally scheduled time then we were out of luck. These people wouldn't wait or reschedule. THey said tough luck, no refund, no reschdeule.
No refund.
Take your 1 star review and choke on it. Hope you enjoyed my money

Directions to get our tickets were good - we arrived an hour early with our voucher and had them printed out and were told to go to the gondola pier at the appointed time. There is a quaint cafe right by the docks (Illy Cafe) where we had a nice drink before our ride. We went to the line 10 minutes early as there was a lull and were told to return in 10 minutes. By our appointed time, the place was packed with many tour groups who were given priority and we (and others who had tickets) were told to stand to the side to wait … for 20 more minutes. Finally we were instructed to go to our gondola. We had a private 45 minute ride with a musician booked … when we got on our boat and we’re about to leave I asked about our serenader and showed our ticket. I was told to sit down as we needed to leave and that there were no musicians available. We were gone 20 minutes total. The reason I didn’t rate lower and said yes to recommending is that it is a must to do a gondola ride when in Venice. There seemed to be other options that weren’t quite the s***show that this particular gondola pier was. It seemed their goal was to get people on and off as quickly as possible and take the shortest route available. Not the relaxing romantic 45 minute serenaded gondola ride I had hoped for with my wife.

The beautiful voice of Marcello Marcus serenading us thru out the tour was fabulous!! We had a nice group of 3 men taking very good care of us.

I am sad to say I don’t know any of the names of our singer, Gandalf operator or accordion player. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night. So worth the extra money spent to hear the talents of these artists!

This was the absolute best gondola ride of our trip. The guitar player was fabulous and the singer was wonderful! We did three different gondola experiences while in Venice and this was by far the best…so romantic and relaxing!

Horrific experience completely destroyed what otherwise was enjoyable once we fought to get the services we paid for.
We weren’t the only parties standing at the assigned spot and being told our tickets were not valid the time slot we prepaid was not avaiable , Nicole was horriable didn’t care we had to chase her down the pier as she walked away from us multiple times saying it was a Vitar problem.
Our tour guide in Venice said this wasn’t the first time she heard this Vitar can not deliver on items they promise and many people loose their money and experience.
After a long day in the sun we really didn’t need to be chasing the tour company around Venice , beyond rude no explanation and overall the worst experience. Do not book with Vitar you stand a good chance of not getting the services you paid for

This event option is not recognised by the gondola company and they were not expecting us. Fortunately, one of their managers took control and asked us to return in 25 minutes during which time she managed to rustle up a singer and a guitarist, both of whom were very good and keen to please. The gondolier on the other hand was surly and did not communicate. With a great deal of trauma and time we finally got what we had requested and paid for. Sad as this is not a cheap event and one we had been looking forward to.
