Paseo en góndola clásico de 30 minutos

Last year had an amazing experience on the gondola w/ this company. Sadly, this week paled in comparison. Our gondolier spoke in Italian to a colleague the entire ride, giving us only 2 bits of historic info that were mumbled. He yelled at a lady who asked which building he referred. Very awkward 30 min.

People like hell, the only priority of the provider is to fill somehow the boats.... we felt like a mass dissipation

Need PICS on our tkts to show where we MEET. Total chaos and no direction by the ppl checking us in.

My wife had always wanted to go to Venice and when we decided to go, she wanted to go on a Gondola even more. It felt like it was longer than 30 minutes, but in a good way. Great value for money!

The gondola ride was through the quieter canals which gave the ride a relaxed feel. We were only on the grand canal for a few minutes so not the choice if you are looking for a grand canal tour!

This was fun, however, we didn't know that it was 6 people in a gondola and we were a party of 7, so we were separated, which was fine, but would have liked to have known before. Also, it was very cool and our gondolier was very proficient at his job, but there was no conversation from him at all and whenever he could he was on his phone, which was a bummer for us. Would recommend this tour via Viator because it was easy to set up and nice to show up and just have it done. Also, it was less expensive than it is to buy yourself once there. We'd do it again.

Overall good. Just as expected. However only 25 minutes from start to finish. And everyone on the gondola noted the time.

Love the gondola ride, my husband and I were fortunate enough to sit together, the other 2 couples had to sit across from each and away from each other. But the ride was still good, riding through the alley ways was interesting and getting to see the island was beautiful.

This was worth it. One of our favorite excursions even though there was no singing. It was very relaxing. Only issue was after a long day of touring had to walk to the meeting place and than walk back to the gondola service which we had passed on the way to the meeting location.

This is the only tour that was disappointing and we decided not to even get on the gondola. The crowd was like no other anywhere in Venice yet all other gondola services had very relaxing and pleasant atmospheres.

Glad to have been. Was 15min later by the time we got onto the gondola and instead of the 30min ride it was only 20mins. Wasn't expecting a lot from the gondalier- he spent most of his time talking to another gondalier and on his phone. But perhaps a brief acknowledgement of our prescence?

Just fyi ... Classic means this Tour Company sells as many tickets as possible and then hordes you all down the sidewalk to join the line of other tourists waiting for a gondola ride. It was a chaotic mess compared to every other Italy tour we booked through Viator. There was no personal interaction rather they walked you from their tour office to the gondolas and assigned you as quick as possible to 6 people per ride. This gondola area was a mess with 5-6 boats at a time jockeying to load the next tourists. Bummer! We did appreciate the gondola ride through the canals and it was pretty, but we would have chosen to spend a little more money for a better experience.
