Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We had an amazing time on this private gondola ride. I was quite nervous at first as I had read a few negative reviews. But our experience was positive and amazing. Our gondolier was friendly, informative and courteous throughout our journey. I would highly recommend this. Great way to avoid the queues!
It was lovely and a very nice chill experience. We went later in the day. Not as hot. Would definitely recommend doing this. Saw people standing in lines trying to get gondolas. Easier to pre order/ reserve. We found our destination easily and we were immediately taken to the gondola!
