Ride was really great but the boatman did no speaking at all. A commentary of what we were passing in spoken language or paper would solve this. We were really appalled at the ticket box where you got a sticker and then you hung about until what ever time they were ready to go, this should have a designated area for us going on the gondala ride. Then the lady come and us back people could not hear at all so we followed like sheep. Really needs to be fine tuned

We truly enjoyed the shared ride along with friends. I would recommend everyone to take advantage of shared ride which is economical and having sense of fulfilling experience. Such a peaceful ride sailing through those channels and centuries old buildings! I would do it again in the future.

You think of Venice, you think of gondolas. The saving we made compared to if we had just turned up on the day was fantastic - my girlfriend has been to Venice seven times now but has never been able to afford a ride. Although half an hour seems like it might not be enough, you really get a feel for this unique city and end the ride with a short trip up the Grand Canal, so it is ample time and great value.
