The Gondola ride was wonderful. It was a little confusing trying to find the meeting point however we found it in plenty of time. Great experience.

The gondola ride was just as it was described. Short, sweet and to the point. If you pay for a gondola without this tour, you will pay $90 for the 30 minute ride. We were able to use some of our Viator reward points to make this a little more affordable. While a gondola ride is an iconic experience you MUST do in Venice - it is not worth the money. If you can walk away from the experience and not be disappointed for not checking this off your bucket list, I would do that. I felt that it was necessary so I was willing to pay the money for it - however it really isn't that great. This tour did not provide any information what so ever about Venice. The tour guide did not share any details at all. Not really worth the time and money - however I still am glad I checked it off my list. I wouldn't do this again.

A must in Venice! I didn't book this days in advance and ended up regretting it as the available spots were limited with short notice, so I would recommend to book ahead of time.

Expected more. It was a beautiful ride however it was very short, no more than 20 min. Walked in large group over to gondola boarding area. Then it was like boarding a Disney ride. If you’re looking for a romantic gondola don’t book this. There are gondolas all over the city! And you can ride privately. When you book with this they try to fill the gondola which holds 5 people

Our gondaleer sang songs and gave some sightseeing tips. Great route as well.
Pretty city, loved our breakfast and supper and walk around Venice.

It was fun and happy and a real experience, it was our first time on a gondola and Venice is the only place to do it.

This service neglects to tell you that out of the 40 minute trip, 30 mins is a walking tour through the narrow streets of Venice. Then the actual gondola ride is roughly 5 mins and the app to “guide” you about what you’re seeing doesn’t work and you don’t actually go past any of the things the say you’ll go past. This is the back alley water ways with nothing to see but old broken back buildings for 5 mins.

The tour stated it was a 30 minute Gondola ride. In truth it was about 13 minutes waiting while they checked everyone in and divided us into groups, while the actual ride lasted 17 minutes. We bought a night time ride from a separate company and paid less for a full 30 minutes.

We were told that you just have to do a Gondola ride while visiting Venice and they were right. It’s a must do and a very special experience. A memory for life

This booking was a joke. The ride lasted about 15 minutes, half of which were along the grand canal and then one loop through local canals and back. We spent more time waiting to board than we spent onboard.
