So worth doing it this way as if you was to do it on the day your be paying up to 90€ cash only plus for a 30 minute tour it’s a big money making so I strongly suggest buying from here works out alot cheaper
Our gondola ride took us through the small “alleyways” of the canals where it was quiet and you could see the homes and architecture that you couldn’t necessarily see by walking. The ride then ended with a few minutes on the grand canal. This was a great value as the going rate for a gondola ride is €90.
