Crammed 6 strangets in one gondola and didny even get to sit next to my husband who was on the othet side of the gondola. Had a small chair on the side and my back hurt the while time. Extremely uncomfortable and i was next to people i didnt know. The description shoulf have stated i wouldnt get a ptivate gondola with my husband.
