Love these rides! - Would have loved to go under the Rialto Bridge? And the option for a longer ride. Otherwise, the ride was great!

A must in Venice! - A must in Venice! I didn't book this days in advance and ended up regretting it as the available spots were limited with short notice, so I would recommend to book ahead of time.

We loved it! - Guide talked way too much. He was good but we paid to get in early and when he was done talking we were not early! The buildings were amazing. Wish my guide did not tell me so much. I was tired of all the info.

You get a decent gondola ride - The cheapest gondola ride you can get. It was a little disappointing as we had to walk about 7 minutes from the meeting point to where we boarded the gondola, and then most of the gondola ride we were experiencing "traffic jams" and waiting for the gondolas ahead of us to move. However, if you are looking for a classic Venice experience, it does the trick.

Bucket list experience tick off! - The Gondola ride was wonderful. It was a little confusing trying to find the meeting point however we found it in plenty of time. Great experience.

Gondola ride - The weather was amazing but we had a short ride .I am not sure but the canals aren't that clean and charismatic only when it comes to the main river that it starts to feel good .

Iconic experience - not worth the money - The gondola ride was just as it was described. Short, sweet and to the point. If you pay for a gondola without this tour, you will pay $90 for the 30 minute ride. We were able to use some of our Viator reward points to make this a little more affordable. While a gondola ride is an iconic experience you MUST do in Venice - it is not worth the money. If you can walk away from the experience and not be disappointed for not checking this off your bucket list, I would do that. I felt that it was necessary so I was willing to pay the money for it - however it really isn't that great. This tour did not provide any information what so ever about Venice. The tour guide did not share any details at all. Not really worth the time and money - however I still am glad I checked it off my list. I wouldn't do this again.

awful experience - We couldn't get a hold of the tour person and we couldn't find them at the location. We were unable to do the tour.
