Small but great tour - This type of tour is great to know none turistic places and history about Venice, and also somehow a way to get the gondola experience. RECOMENDED to go with a partner.

You can't go to Venice without this... - <p>You can't go to Venice without this Walking Tour and Gondola Ride. The streets are so narrow in Venice and it's easy to become confused. Our guide walked us through these narrow streets and told us quaint stores about the different neighborhoods. Also, highlighted interesting buildings, which one can easily miss. The city is extremely charming with its squares, bridges, and multitude of shops. After, the walking tour, we relaxed on the Gondola Ride. Sharing the ride was pleasant, however, the Gondolas are restricted for the canals and there could be some traffic. Boats and water taxi traffic We enjoyed Venice very much and this tour helped us have a better understanding of this beautiful city.</p>

Gondolier not at all friendly it was very much done out of duty not pleasure. Overall though I would recommend the tour. Venice is just magical from all view points.</p>

Vacation - We missed the walking tour but took the Gondola ride. The drivers and staff were very professional and made sure every one got one the gondola safely. The ride was a good length . I felt we saw a lot and a good value.

I expected more of a commentary and to learn more about Venice than I did. Gondola ride was great, they took us through some smaller canals and then to the Grand Canal.</p>

HORRENDOUS - the tour was overcrowded, the tour guide was rude and not good -- the local staff was not available to intervene and address concerns. Have used viator many, many times - NEVER had an experience like this.

Well, it did nothing of the sort! The guide did not take us to any Venice landmarks, did not stop for any photos and only showed us the narrow streets of Venice nothing major!<br/>
the gondola ride was a big flop!! where it states that it will take you for a 30mins of gondola ride through the narrow canals of Venice, this gondola ride only lasted for 20 mins and we only went out to the big canal and back in! the gondolier did not even explain anything to us!<br/>
this tour was not worth the money!!</p>
