I did this activity as a solo traveller and was fortunate to be on the gondola with only two other people! 30 minutes was just perfect for this journey - enough time to take in the gorgeous scenery and get a real feel for riding round on a gondola with plenty of time to take pictures. There is no interaction from the driver but I don’t think this was needed as I was just taking it all in. I would very much recommend as an affordable way to go in a gondola!

We loved our ride in Venice! Well organised:; and the guide collected us from the meeting spot and took us to the Gondola. The ride itself was incredible and so relaxing we wished it lasted several hours
