Die Gondel Tour war zu kurz … der Preis pro Minute zu hoch. Meines Erachtens eher Massenabfertigung. Besser Booking.com für 35 CHF buchen - no frills!
Tivemos uma explicação profunda sobre as gôndolas, o que nos ajudou a entender a sua origem e também sua importância para a história de Veneza. Passeio muito bom também, porém foi de certa forma breve. De qualquer forma, super recomendo esta atividade!
the 15min commentary was not clear and uninformative. The overall price is higher for a gondola ride; i could have done better with a private ride on my own
Sinceramente creo que no merece la pena coger el paseo en góndola por aqui. Es cierto que te ahorras quizás 10€ pero por 90 euros lo puedes coger allí y tener tu góndola solo para ti. el precio general allí es de 90 euros por media hora y hasta un máximo de 5 personas por góndola, es decir, que si vas en grupo de 5 te sale a menos de 20€ por persona…y si vas en pareja pagas 90 pero vas solo. De esta forma cada persona de la góndola paga 40 y pico euros y si o si te van a llenar la góndola de gente, por lo que ya ves el beneficio que secan ellos.Después el supuesto paseo con la explicación a pie tampoco es que sea gran cosa…por lo tanto, en mí opinión, no merece la pena.
out tour guide was so funny and kind lady. she was very informative guide and we enjoyed our time with her.
The description said it was an Hour. It barely lasted 30 mins from meet-up to finish. The guide was very hard to hear kept braking up. The ear piece was not ideal. It would not stay on my ear. Thank goodness they had a string for around your neck. The canals were beautiful. it’s amazing how the Gondolier's can control their Gandolas. It was a great experience I just was expecting a little more.
Malheureusement la guide ne s’exprimait pas très bien Français, nous avions du mal à comprendre et il a fallu répéter plusieurs fois. Attention aussi sur l’emploi de « visite guidée » car ce n’est pas le cas. La personne n’est là que pour expliquer l’histoire de la gondole de Venise et son symbole dans la ville. Une sorte d’introduction mais une fois sur la gondole plus rien. La gondole était très bien, propre et rutilante mais le circuit de promenade est décevant et ne présente que peux d’intérêt car passage par des canaux secondaires.
Foi tudo incrível! guia ótimo, o tempo do passeio também foi bom, deu pra curtir o momento e ainda tirar fotos pra recordação. Super recomendo!
L’activité qui devait durer 2h a duré 1h et 20min de gondole… dessus
