As great an experience as... - As great an experience as possible given the rainy weather! Much kudos to the guides for managing to run these in that weather. I just wish that, given the weather and the previous cancellation of the first booking on the original date (which again, completely valid), they would've been more proactive about reassuring us that the trip would happen and how to identify the guide (since on the day of, the guide was holding an orange flag instead of a sign, for instance). I had to call Viator a few times for reassurance on that front, which wouldn't have been possible without a local SIM.

Good Check in the Box - This definitely tour definitely checks the box when it comes to Venice must do’s. Like all tourist traps it was overpriced for what it was, but very equitable to other companies/tours. The meeting directions were clear and communication was easy. Our Gondolier, Leonardo, was very pleasant and shared wonderful information as we went along the Grand Canal and through the more narrow, but still busy, smaller canals. We traveled mid January with our family of 5, and overall very pleased with our experience.

Disappointing trip - It was a very poor excursion and a waste of money, we weren't even on the gondola for 30 minutes. It was a very disappointing birthday treat
