A wonderful experience to celebrate a special birthday - Brilliant experience to go on a gondola just for us to celebrate my son's 30th birthday. The young gondolier was so cheerful. He sang, told us about the history of Venice and answered our questions. He was from a family of gondoliers and had bought his own gondola. An unforgettable experience!

Great Experience - We booked our Gondola ride with Viator. Was extremely easy and straightforward. We got to our pick up point half hour early and yet they let us on. Would highly recommend experiencing this whilst in Venice.

We had the best time. ... - We had the best time. Fell in Love with Burano. We were so impressed with Murano artist. The best part was our tour guide she provided us with so much information was very kind and patient with us. I highly recommend this tour specially with the same tour guide and also with the water taxi transportation provided.

Beautiful Tour - Lovely boat tour. Peaceful as it was a private tour, however felt it could have been longer (was about 20 min).

You need to experience the gondola ride in Venice! But it is too crowded to be enjoyable now. - Everyone needs to ride in a gondola in Venice at least once! Very relaxing and interesting. This time our gondola guy was not at all friendly or interesting, it was very crowded and I think everyone had had enough at this point. I would recommend but be prepared to get a tired, uninteresting gondola guy! Last time I went it was very cool and i had a great, friendly gondola guy!

Gondola - Unorganised , overcrowded waiting area. Hard to find , not well signed for English speaking people. Not much information given from the Gondola captain.

Don’t use this company - It was billed as a 30 minute ride. It was 10-15 minute at most. Our guide was a bit rude. Did not get our money’s worth. Would not do this again.

HORRIBLE! - This was the worst and most disappointing experience! The ride was only 15 minutes down an ugly canal. The Gondola operator was on his phone talking the entire time! And the cost was outrageous compared to what we could have paid on the site. I am seeking a refund for this HORRIBLE experience.
