Nice Gondola, the gondola rower was also giving out information about the area and was informative.
However if you are in a budget it is quite easy to get a gondola when you are there, particularly if you are not interested in prior information, you can also get a singer on your boat on request, probably a lot more money to do so. read less

If you are doing the afternoon visit, then you have to wait around near pier 1A until the boat can find somewhere to berth (which may or may not be here exactly!) The guide will then come out with the blue sign for 'Lagoon tours' so just be on the look out and ask around if in any doubt.
The first island was Murano where we were herded straight into a demonstration on glass blowing and the obligatory visit to the (expensive) gift shop. There wasn't time to walk about and discover the island unfortunately. After this we sailed to the tiny island of Torcello. Again just a quick visit really. By the time we walked to the church it was time to walk back to the boat again! Our third island visit was Burano and we wished we could have spent more time here on this colourful island.
Although good value for money, maybe it is too ambitious to squeeze in 3 islands into 4 hours duration and overall the trip felt rather rushed. Our guide was great and cleverly spoke in 4 different languages.. read less

In a small workshop, surrounded by masks, you can start decorating and learning the process. Don’t go in with the illusion that you are going to coming out with a masterpiece (unless you are an artist!) But it was a fun thing to do and I would recommend if you have a couple of hours free! read less

I did check with customer service on viator if I needed to buy a ticket for her and they said no. But when I went up the clerk told me she counted as an adult and there could not be 6 people to a gondola. So I would have to pay for another boat. But he said it was a common issue they were running into after coivd. So I sat out with the baby, it's all good though. The others said they really enjoyed the boat ride.

Loved the scenic views. Other reviews are accurate that the gondola ride is beautiful but could be a much more fulfilling experience if they sang, provided a brief history or even engaged a bit more during the ride. There were some high traffic areas during the ride that kept us at a halt for a bit but can’t complain about that because it was still a good experience. It was a quick ride but still worth the price. Would give 5 stars if the gondolier was more engaging during the ride read less

Although we had already done one guided walk (including a gondola ride) we decided to take up the offer of a rescheduled walk and we were glad we did. Both were excellent, however this walk took us into areas less visited and our guide was very informative. She took us to cat book shop and Museum of Fortuny, both places which sadly we didn’t have time to visit properly but would definitely do so next time. We would certainly recommend this walk as a great introduction to places to return to and to the history of Venice. read less

We booked the skip-the-line tickets from Venice Tours including a colorful guide.
Upon arrival, there was indeed a big queue but I think the additional fee we had to pay to skip the line was too high.
We had to wait in line for the booth to pick up our tickets. It stated on the website we would receive a brochure. The lady at the booth informed us we could either get a brochure or use an online app. Unfortunately, we didn't know we had this option so make sure you have phones for everyone including earphones (we didn't) plus a charger because the app drains your battery. Make sure you download the app immediately next to the booth in order to benefit from the wifi. The app itself offered quite interesting background information. In the palace there are signs but they only give limited information (different from the app).
We enjoyed visiting it on our own. read less

The group seemed really big at the start so it took a while for everyone to be checked off the list and sorted into smaller teams.
The mini tour lasted around 10 minutes and getting into the gondola with other people was quick and easy as the guides were professional and efficient.
It was a really memorable experience that is definitely worth the money. Would highly recommend! read less

We signed up for the "Unusual Venice" tour, but wrapped up our walk feeling that it was more of a general tour of Venice. To us, there weren't many unusual things mentioned in the tour. We did, indeed, learn a lot about the important history of Venice, and we appreciated our guide's prowess in this subject. Also, the tour was offered in both English and Spanish. It was a little distracting to have our tour guide explain something in English, then stop down the tour to explain the exact same thing in Spanish. I think time would be much better spent by offering single-language tours only! read less

Also be prepared to buy something, yes, because the pieces are beautiful, but also because that seems to be the main goal of the tour. read less

We met at the start, and a big group of people were there and they divided us into 10 groups of five, we walked a few blocks to the canal, waited to load the gondolas and off we went. The ride was about 15 minutes through some canals inside the city. It was nice. I probably would have done our gondola experience more spontaneously had I known instead of this big tour feeling experience buying tickets in advance - we didn’t need to. There are gondoliers all over the city available all day and evening. read less

It is nice to float on the small canals of Venice and the skills of the gondoliers are impressive. The price you pay here (appr. 40 dollars) is lower than other gondola tour operators.
However, if you want to book this activity please consider that you are indeed only 5 in a gondola, but for the rest you are part of a touristic mass organisation. It is not a relaxing or intimate activity. The introduction takes place with appr. 50 people, devided in 2 groups of appr. 25 people. In order to know in which boat you have to take place, you are asked to put a sticker on your coat with a number. For the introduction each of the 2 groups contain people speaking different languages, so you always have to wait until the explanation is done in your language. read less

Our daughter has already made fresh pesto at home and we've only been home for a day! Dining on the terrace was a wonderful experience. Aside from the cooking, Carolyn was full of tips and information about Venice, both in activities around the city as well as casual conversation about life and food in Venice.

I really enjoyed this one. It's about 30 minutes and prior to the ride, we got a 20 minute walking tour (from the meeting place to the gondolas). That was a treat. When we arrived, the groups and numbering system were organized and we boarded our gondola within five minutes. While walking, the tour guide's microphone didn't properly work and therefore I couldn't hear the entire commentary. I loved this quick tour because it allowed us to do more in our day. It was a nice time to unwind for 30 minutes and take lots of pictures on the canal! Our gondola operator was very skilled but didn't talk as much. Overall, totally worth it! read less

The guide greets you at the meet up point, provides clear instruction and guidance, and then takes the group on a short walking tour with commentary en route to the Gondolas. Although this is a “group” tour, it is split up over several Gondolas so there are only between 2 and 5 people in each boat. Would highly recommend this trip, especially considering the actual amount of time spent in the Gondola, and the low price compared to most other trips! read less

But if you come as the 3rd person to sit on the gondola, you cannot sit next to your partner, friend etc. but you might sit face to face (depending on gondola type).

My only complaint was that the decoration was pretty restrained- you could chose the colours but that was all. No glitter/ feathers.

It’s great to wonder through, with some really excellent interactive experiences - fun to do for couples and families with older children too. Well worth exploring!

One kept the boat steady and held her and the other was on the boat holding her as she was getting on. They made sure she was steady and was able to sit comfortably. I cannot be appreciative enough because they literally made my mother’s dream come true!! Thank you so much!! The ride was smooth… he pointed out key points along the ride.

Go to the news stand in St Mark’s Square. There isn’t one it’s through the arch under the piazza at the far end and yes it’s between Fendi and Italian post office.
You can only redeem tickets on the day. So trying to be prepared doesn’t happen.
Arriving on the day, paperwork was available however redeeming the audio guide was a real faff. Hence my concern over those less tech able being able to benefit from this.

The guide, Esra, is excellent - professional, warm, very human, and enthusiastic. The background info he gave on Venice as you’re walking to their gondola stop was fascinating and helped place a lot. Once you’re n gondola you switch off and quietly enjoy the noises of the city.

My wife and I only had 24 hours in Venice, and this was one of the best ways to spend it. We got the classic Venice gondola experience at a fraction of the cost (in-person it costs ~80 euros, we paid 32 euros per person through Trip Advisor).
Sara the tour guide (a Venetian native) did an incredible job - she was extremely kind and educated. She provided the the first half of the tour (a walking guided tour that gave a brief history of Venice and the historical significance of gondolas). Not only did she share a lot of information, but she did it fluently in 2 different languages (English and Spanish).
The gondola ride was a nice and leisurely, and just the right amount of time you'd want to spend in a boat (I think any longer than 30 minutes starts to be a bit too much). Awesome experience, highly recommend. read less

The boat ride itself was beautiful, when we started it was still daytime but 30 minutes later when we finished it was getting dark so we managed to experience both day and night on a gondola! I recommend the afternoon tour because of this. read less

It was a pity it was both an Italian tour and English (instead of just English). Headsets would improve the tour as Venice is very busy and sometimes it was hard to hear even though we were a fairly small group. read less

It was about 15 minutes of walking with history of the canals, Venice and gondola boats followed by 15-25 minute gondola ride. We were about 4-5 per boat.
Considering that a regular gondola ride is anywhere between 80-150 euros cash, this was well worth the price to see a quaint part of Venice. read less

We arrived about 30 minutes early. They were very accommodating and we were able to take the gondola ride early. Started off going through small canals before getting onto the grand canal. A very good experience overall! read less

Half of the group had already been through the Doge’s Palace, but he went ahead and gave the info anyway (as he should). He (Francisco) did a good job of telling interesting stories and waiting until we were all together so everyone could hear him. My only issue is that he tended to march ahead without looking back to see if we were following. In one case, he was at least 50 feet ahead of the closest guest and two others were far back. He needs to check more frequently to let the pokey people catch up. read less

It did begin to rain but it was a light rain and we were able to take the gondola. Certainly an experience that every Venice tourist would enjoy. I read that it was difficult to find where the check in area is but I didn't find this at all. If you simply exit the St. Mark's square on the opposite side of the basilica there is a flag out that says gondola and representatives waiting to assign you a gondola. My only negative is that the commentary is only on the land. When you're on the boat there is no commentary so there was no one to point areas of interest. However, it was a a beautiful ride. read less

It was a beautiful night and going on the grand canal was really smooth and not choppy. We knew it was going to be expensive, but its a must for a first time to Venice. Too bad, they dont actually sing ;). read less

I also enjoyed how we spent the majority of our time in the smaller side canals rather than the crowded Grand Canal. However, the audio devices did not have a long range and even though we were only two boats away from the guide we could not hear the commentary. read less
