Bof…
The guide was incredible, it was her first time in French and she did very well, well done!
It was terrible not the best experience, it lasted less than 30minutes and the terrible sewerage smell in lots of areas, very uncomfortable seats, sour puss tour guide didn’t do any 15 min walking tour like it said in our booking, audio app with supposed commentary didn’t work. It would have been a lot cheaper to book it from direct from Venice where the gondola’s are. I suggest an even cheaper and better experience to get a luxurious looking taxi boat. It was more than double the price booking it online. We did it, would we do it again ? definitely not waist of money and not an enjoyable experience. We deserve a full refund.
Very well organized! Before the gondola ride, there was a short introduction with VR glasses, which was very well done and available in all languages. This was followed by a short but interesting tour to the starting point of the gondola ride. Our tour guide Elisabeth was very enthusiastic, always smiling, and told us great stories about Venice – it was really fun! The gondola ride at the end was simply beautiful, a real highlight! I was traveling with two children and everything went smoothly. A big thank you to the whole team – full marks from us!
Sehr gut organisiert! Vor der Gondelfahrt gab es eine kleine Einführung mit VR-Brille super gemacht und in allen Sprachen verfügbar. Danach folgte eine kurze, aber interessante Tour bis zum Startpunkt der Gondelfahrt. Unsere Tour-Guide Elisabeth hat uns mit viel Leidenschaft, einem Lächeln und tollen Geschichten über Venedig begeistert das hat richtig Spaß gemacht! Die Gondelfahrt am Ende war einfach wunderschön, ein echtes Highlight! Ich war mit zwei Kindern unterwegs und alles hat reibungslos geklappt. Ein großes Dankeschön an das ganze Team volle Punktzahl von uns!
It was so wonderful and fun! The gondalier was entertaining. What a treat to be able to stroll the water of Venice and listen to the locals interact.
We found the activity excellent value for money. Our guide Elizabeth was very informative about Venice and guided us through the streets until we arrived at the Gondola stop. The shared Gondola ride was enjoyable and we enjoyed sharing it with Cleo & Casper
It’s a perfect option when you travel alone! The guide very kind and also the gondola ride was amazing! You can live the experience without spending a lot of money. Totally worth it
The guide was fantastic and the whole tour is really cool. The gondola normally holds 4 people, so it will be shared.
