Sadly it was an a terrible experience. The Gondola ride did not start on time and ran a few minutes late. Almost 20 minutes in our gondola operator was making small talk with the driver of the gondola behind him and was not paying attention when steering the gondola and it went crashing to the left side of a small bridge and he fell down in our gondola from the impact. My daughter was terrified because the gondola was tilting and he advised my 75 year old mother to move from her seat towards the front to steer the boat in the center. We ended up docking at the Traghetto 5 minutes early. Very disappointed and not the memories I had hoped for.

We were given two meeting points, we kept waiting in the first meeting point, no body turned up, we were 20 minutes before time at that first point. .
We then telephoned the company the telephone no was not right, no body picked up the telephone. We then chatted with viator who kept referring to the morning tour then tried to justify they were right.
We then rushed to the second point were we told that we were late and they refused to entertain us. We paid Viator 70 euros and paid the gondola company 110 euros
It is not understood as to why there were
two meeting points
Viator should refund the money.
Terribly disappointed.

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS. It was thunderstorming and the company WOULDN’T CANCEL the tour. We called and sent messages, no one responded to the emails and when we called they said that the Gondola ride was still happening. Do not book through here. Go to the gondoliers directly. A personal ride was cheaper

Was ok but with hindsight there are many better personal gondola rides and better value for money. Our was very short and felt very commercial.

The ride itself was great, though very busy. Once we got to the dock, the line moved quickly as the gondoliers loaded everyone efficiently. The trickiest part was finding the kiosk/meeting point. Took lots of back alleys and thankfully had digital map help. The kiosk is NOT near the dock, so then we had to follow the rep to the dock for loading.
Ride was a good length and decent route, but got stuck in gondola traffic jam twice.

We had a great time on our gondola ride admiring the beautiful city of Venice. The gondolier was very experienced and navigated the canals with ease.

Really enjoyable experience. Calm waters which helped. Lovely seeing the sights from the water. Just what we needed after walking around.

It was very unfortunate it was raining so we didn’t get to ride it, but they told us very last min, and haven’t received a refund yet since it was canceled.
