Definitely overpriced for what it was, however I enjoyed the ride. Loved bring in the gondola and that it was a private ride. get your guide does provide an app to look up information - which is good but hard to do in real time. Overall a happy I did the experience.

Beautiful! A pretty short trip around the canals (a little less than 30 minutes) but it included 10-15 minutes out on the Grand Canal which had amazing views of the city! Our tour was not guided but the gondolier pointed out a few spots like Mozart house which was amazing. Classic Venetian experience, a must-do when in the city.

Wonderful! Venice…is Venice so it’s worth it. The30 minutes gondola ride was great. It was very peaceful in the little canals and the punch came at the end when entering in the grand canal. Our gondolier was very nice and it was great to watch him working with his gondola. First timer, old timers, you can’t miss a gondola ride…
