Fantastic! We both loved our gondola ride.
Au top !! Une première partie très intéressante, le guide était top 👍 La balade en gondole était très sympa. Je recommande ☀️
Una experiencia inmejorable. Nuestra guía Verónica fue muy amable y simpática.
たのしかった
Une bonne opportunité de faire un tour de gondole dans les canaux de Venise. C'est un peu court et laisse une impression de prestation très standardisée.
A fuir de toute urgence, prix beaucoup trop élevé pour ce que c’est nous avons eu, littéralement 15 minutes de gondole sur les 30 minutes indiquées. De plus le gondolier n’a pas cessé de parler avec son collègue, ce qui a rendu cette expérience très désagréable. La guide allait beaucoup trop vite, ne prenant aucun soin de vérifier si les enfants pouvaient suivre à piedw l’activité n’a pas commencé à l’heure, bref à fuir.
ガイドからは何の解説もなく、ガイド同士で終始我々には理解できない言語であるイタリア語で会話をしており、リラックス出来ませんでした。優雅な船旅を期待していましたが、ガッカリしています。値段に見合った体験とは言えないと思います。
Gondolier sa celú plavbu hral s mobilným telefónom nevenoval sa vôbec zákazníkom.
bien!
