Well worth the time - It was fantastic. However I paid for 6 tickets and 4 people did not make it due to illness and there was no offer of a reduced rate or refund

Sunset in Venice with my love! - I have been waiting to take a gondola ride with my wife and this was finally my opportunity. The only part of the experience that was less than ideal was the check in. The ride, the company, and the whole experience was fantastic.

Fun and delicious cooking experience - What a fun and delicious evening! Cesarina Barbara explained and demonstrated the process to make pasta. She gave each of us a chance to be hands-on under her supervision. The food was delicious and her home was welcoming. We can't wait to make pasta in our own home! Highly recommend!

Can now claim this experience - It does take you down the canals and gives you a full experience of a gondola ride. However, they look to fill the gondola to max 5 people so you can be sitting with strangers. This does limit the romantic nature of the ride.

Venecia - We really enjoyed it but I don’t think it was as long as advertised.. maybe we lost track of time.. seemed like way too fast.. I loved the fact that the ticket part was super clear, we had no problem getting to the location and we didn’t have to mess around w the negotiating part.

It was a gondola ride... - It was a gondola ride once in a life time experience. The driver was rude, our ride was supposed to be 30 minutes but it was only 22 minutes. The seats were hard no cushions
the other boats had cushions. We thought we had paid for a private ride but it wasn’t.

Just ok - Shorter than advertised, and the boat guide never said a word to us. It was advertised that he would be telling us the history of the area throughout the ride, but that was not the case. If I were to do it again, I would choose a ride with a serenade. We passed someone on a ride like that, and it just seemed a lot more interactive.

Screwed by Viator - This was the first time we got screwed by Viator. We were at the meeting place and no Viator representative was there. We were directed to 3 other places each 1/4 mile away from each other and the. We were denied the service. Requested refund but was denied

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR Z - Directions were very unclear
We walked around San Marco Square looking for the marked kiosk and was impossible to find. No one had heard of the Classic Gondola company when asked. When we finally stumbled upon the kiosk it was closed. When we asked the station next to it they had no idea what is was. The kiosk was not marked. We went back the next day to talk with operator. The person in the kiosk told us to come back at 2:45 to talk to operator. We got back to kiosk at 3;00 and the man in the kiosk was rude and told us we were late and to come back at 5:15 to talk to operator. We gave up at this point. If I could give a zero I would. Have requested a refund.
