t’s worth the price, but it’s a little confusing and chaotic to get the tickets, little to no instruction while waiting for the ride to start. But the gondola ride is quite nice, there were groups of five, a little bit rushed but expected for this time of the year

It was a good activity. It was so confusing where to wait for the gondola ride as there was no proper waiting location - had to ask quite a few people. You need to get a proper ticket from San Marco Pier from the ticket booth to change your digital ticket into paper. Then wait by the ticket booth as a person will take you to the gondola pier next to it (other side of the illy cafe). Not a guide at all, just experiencing the gondola ride. It just went around a block in the water. The manoeuvring around the building and going under the small bridges were nice. The driver didn’t talk to us, just to other drivers. It did felt very rushed. There was four of us so we got our own gondola but I know that some of them had to share with other people up to 6-8 persons. I would do it again but next time with a singer or an entertainer on the boat to enhance the experience.

Marco was excellent. He ensured that we were safe while boarding and disembarking from the gondola. He pointed out some of the landmarks. He offered to take pictures when particularly scenic backdrops gave an opportunity for memorable photos. We spent only a short time on the Grand Canal and spent most of our time on calm, narrow canals with a feel of authentic Venice.
