This tour was very nice and the highlight was the peaceful and enjoyable gondola trip. Very scenic.
Al reservar había solicitado el tour en inglés y nuestra guía solo habló en italiano ingnorando a los que no entendíamos. El gondolero tampoco nos habló ni explicó el trayecto.
Overall, we were satisfied with the guide and the experience, however the activity costs 80euro and you are 5 people on a gondola, where if you are a couple, it is not really convenient, you may not sit next to each other. Since the local gondola for 2 people only costs 90 euro, the costs for this experience should be much less.
we liked the gondola ride, it was the only thing, we paid for half an hour and it was 15mn, the gondolier was unpleasant and the guide was also awful, when the ride was over, she was not there, we did not know where to leave the audio guides, not very recommendable.
Super !
I loved the gondola ride and the virtual reality experience at the end of the activity!
Si, podría mejorar el que nos dejaran hacernos más fotos
The guide only told us about the area. It said on the website that there was a commentary during the ride. There wasn't. Where I was seated wasn't comfortable but I had to make the most of it. Cost me £38 for 30 minute ride. Then the guide wanted to take us to the library shop under the guise of us watching a 3D movie but it was so the shop could make money off the tourists. A usual trick. I didn't go.
With passionate guide, and there’s even a VR activity to at you can take a peek at the historic scene of Venice!
