Excellent experience. Went through the heart of Venice and took his time.

Straight forward enough to find the meeting place and then a short walk to the gondola well organised in terms of splitting the large group into smaller groups for each gondola so the waiting time was minimal once we arrived at the departure point. The ride itself was great, loved the narrow canals and then the experience of entering the Grand Canal. It was wonderful to go past other gondolas, some with Italian singers on board. The trip definitely made our Venice day trip very special.
