It said 30 minutes depending on traffic. There was hardly another gondola in sight and yet we were ready in 20 minutes. We were normally also dropped off at a different location, but this was not true. We were going to have seen others, but we didn't see this either. The guide was on his mobile phone the whole time, it wasn't disturbing, but we were still scared even though they were trained. It was worth doing.

When I first got there I was skeptical because you wait with a big group and I thought it’d end up being a boat. It wasn’t.. it was a gondula! We shared with two other women and went round the block and it was magical. Was a breath taking experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Great value for money because other gondula rides are 80 euros when you get there. Definitely recommend.

When I booked the activity, the route marked is not the one we actually did. In the activity Marcava Rialto and when we asked the gondolier he told us that it was never done. First I had the 28e route and then I changed to the 32 because the route was a little longer
