quite pleasant tour and the duration is in accordance with what has been announced. The real downside is that the gondolier did not say a single word to us the entire trip and spent his time yelling and laughing with the surrounding gondoliers during the entire ride. Calm level, romanticism or guide, to review therefore.

The saving is fantastic

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.

It was super fun and entertaining, the golgolero was the best of all, he began to greet everyone, taste and at the same time explain information about the trip, he played us with one more couple, there were 4 of us in total and everything happened very very enjoyable.
