Bucket list
Fun experience! If it’s on your bucket list it’s an easy check off!! Good for families and couples!!
Gondola Ride
We booked a 30 minute ride and it was only 20 minutes. Our gondolier was on his phone and texting throughout .
Waste of time and money
Make sure you read carefully and note that this is a shared experience. You will show up and be paired with another couple (up to 5 people) If you choose to go through with it, wait for 25 minutes of gondala grid lock, there is nothing calm or soothing about this experience. You spend the entire trip looking at a line of gondolas in front of you. Unfortunately they have so many gondala tours running at once, that they take up the entire canals. The gondala operators spend the entire time scrolling or talking on their phones, again taking away from what the experience is. If you’re going to spend the 90 Euro to do it, get one off the street. Whilst they seem to be the same company, they will more likely be private.
Great experience!
It was a great experience! It’s one of the things Venice is famous for. I would say you differently need to do this!
Wet Gondola
The gondolas still run in the rain! No conversation with the person steering the gondola. Not what we expected. We tried to cancel but they kept pushing to go in a thunderstorm.
