Bridge of Sighs Gondola ride is 5 star! - The gondola driver clearly was very experienced and it was magical to watch. The ride itself was fabulous, and gorgeous way to see Venice from the water.

Gondola fun - Fun! The gondolier shared some facts about the canal and talked about the carnivale! Took pics while in the ride! He also recommended places to look at Venice!

Great experience, gondola... - Great experience, gondola holding up to 5 people, nice tour of the canals, worth it, nice seeing the city from a different perspective. The agility of the gent’s manoeuvring the gondola is exceptional.

Nice way to do a totally touristy thing - Booking a shared gondola at a specific time was definitely the way to go for us. The land staff were very nice. There is one “snuggle seat for 2” and 3 other chairs . Bear in mind that this is a very popular activity which felt a lot like It’s a Small World at Disneyworld. You line up, staff shuffles you into the gondola, you ride bumper to bumper with the boat ahead of you etc. it’s a conveyor belt but it would be that way no matter what you paid. Only complaint was the gondolier yelling at other gondoliers complaining about the traffic the entire ride.

Well But I didn't like it to be shared - They charge you the same if you did it as a couple for two people and you buy it here and share the gondola with other people

Just a ride in a loop, nothing more. - Just a ride, it felt like being in a city traffic jam. 3 gondolas setting off together down a crowded river street. They were yelling and chatting with each other in Italian, but very little guest interaction. Would have at least liked for them to explain where we were boating through. A pamphlet or something.

Very disappointed - We booked through Viator for a Gondala trip under the bridge of sighs, the ride took us out into the harbor, under 3-4 small bridges, they turned around and came back to where we started. It was a total waste of money. We went nowhere near the bridge of sighs. We went back to the office where we were told to meet up to ask why and they said to contact Viator, it was the guide who was wrong. Our booking clearly said Gondala ride under the bridge of sighs. Very unhelpful. You do not need to prebook a ride there are lots of Gondalas available.

Terrible experience, don’t use this service you will literally miss the boat - It’s a scam you will never make it to the gondola ride because the booth to get the ticket has permanently closed, there is no other way to get on the gondola without a voucher. We asked several people, after multiple attempts of finding an alternate option was told there was nothing we could do. It was cancelled and when we called for assistance to viator we were basically told “Oh Well” by a very rude customer service representative. So long story short we never made it on the boat. The one thing I was looking most forward to when visiting Venice. No refund was issued, we have pictures of the closed booth. It was extremely frustrating and I would never recommend this service to anyone .
