Perfecto! - Carlotta gives us a pleasant tour of the streets of Venice. It was well explained and clear. Thanks to Carlotta and the Venice Tour teams for organizing these tours.

Gondola Venice Tour <3 - Our young Venetian guide Ricardo was fabulous! Speaks French very well. Perfect anecdotes and explanations. Great 30 min gondola ride. Little surprise on arrival, it was great! I recommend.

Great guide with good... - Great guide with good information. With as many gondola services available, better signage and “pre trip ” info would be helpful.

Lovely - Great time! Enjoyable and educational ride to remember! Amazed on how the gondoliers maneuver the gondolas.

Disappointing - The experience did not completely satisfy me; I had booked to listen in Italian to the Guide’s explanations that, instead, spoke in English, they gave me an Audio Guide that I had to tune into my language without, however, succeeding. We made a wide walking route, before arriving at the embarkation point on the gondola, then boarded we left for a short ride (maybe 15 - 20 minutes maximum.....) and then returned to the starting point. During the tour we saw some glimpses of small streets and bridges, but nothing exceptional, I took pictures just to say and prove that I had been, for the first time, on a gondola. At the end of the route I went down wondering: “Is that all the gondola ride?” Honestly, I had joined the proposal full of expectations but, in the end, I was disappointed.

Rip off - I’m disappointed. We paid $170 for a private gondola only to get ripped off. The gondolier didn’t know we had already paid and said the price was $90 which was half of what TripAdvisor charges. It was supposed to be 30minutes and we only got 22. He didn’t sing or even whistle. It was beautiful bc my husband was there and the weather was pretty but I feel so ripped off by TripAdvisor.

Disappointed - Unfortunately we cannot recommend this experience. Our ride was to include a dinner at the end and we never got our meal. There was no one to even ask at the end of our ride about the dinner and our gondelire was on his cell phone for half the trip

Not romantic or sunset - Not a good experience. Person checking us in was not helpful and borderline rude to us. First part of the gondola ride was filled with our gondolier speaking loudly to another gondolier next to us and laughing, so not very romantic. Then we went in the canal, which was nicer. When we came out of one canal, the ride was over. Only 18 minutes long instead of 30 like booking said. We also didn’t go past all things listed in booking and only 1 canal (booking says canals). Sunset tour and we were in between tall buildings in the canal. Great thing to experience in Venice but I would choose another company!

Think twice before booking - The tour location was easy to find if you followed the directions emailed to you. The gondolier was ok and upon return he did tell us a little of what we were seeing. The trip only 20 minutes and it returned you from where you started. Then dinner dorections were only the name of the restaurant. Somehow a separate ticket didn’t come to me. The restaurant refused us and made us walk 10 minutes back to gondolier. He helped us retrieve his paper out of the trash. We then walked that back to the restaurant and this time they took us. You get two courses and a side yes but a very limited selection while people around you had good looking dishes. They you must pay for water or anything to drink with meal. Food was ok but restaurant we small and very busy. Not worth what we paid at all

Not worth it - An hour Gondala and supper was never worth 239 CHF , I thought the gondala would a little not just around the block and Dinner was awful to say the least, not a real restaurant
