The historical information en route to the meeting point for the gondolas was very interesting and helped you to understand how Venice worked originally. The gondola journey was very enjoyable, and felt relatively personal with only 5 of us onboard. There wasn't much commentary during this journey but we enjoyed the peacefulness and travelling up & down the canals.
Our guide was amusing, personable and very easy to understand. read less

He has developed a lesson plan which firstly demonstrates some of his skills of the craft and then a more straightforward project for participants involving some of the easier to handle techniques to make a small glass pendant. He guides participants patiently and supportively through this by first providing a demonstration, then a dry run without heat and finally the melting and manipulation of the glass in the heat with Massimiliano aiding with the more complex part in twisting the hanging hook.
We can highly recommend this as an activity when visiting Venice as well as providing a personal souvenir of the visit. read less

However read the description as the tour involves a lot of stairs, some people were unable to complete the tour, as a result.
One issue that I can't fault the tour guide for was people having conversation and missing key points of information, then asking questions that had already been answered.
A number a people attempted to listen in on the tour, which was aggravating, as the tour wasn't cheap. But the guide politely informed them it was a private tour, once she spotted them.
Excellent overall. 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). But still you can take better videos and pictures of the tip of the gondola in that case. Only thing is not the whole gondola tour is 50 minutes, some of it is walk tour. Gondola tour was about 20-30 minutes. But it was nice and peaceful. Dont be scared of the waves 🙂 The gondoliers know their business very well and dont drop you into the river 😀 read less

I cannot say enough good things about the young, mature knowledgeable and impressive tour guide Ricardo who went out of his way to make sure the tour and day were not ruined. He grew up here and it’s obvious how much he loves his beautiful city of Venice & wants to share as much of it with you as possible!
If you’re lucky enough to get either one of these two as your guide you will enjoy your experience, day & tour. read less

The description should clarify that it is not a 50 minute gondola ride, rather it's about a 15 minute walk from the check in to the gondolas, during which your guide gives you an excellent overview of the history of the gondolas, then a 30 minute ride. The gondola ride itself is not narrated so you can just enjoy the sights and sounds of Venice. read less

For the price, I didn't expect anything else than what was promised and that's what we got. The only tricky part was the meeting point. I recommend you find the place with a good time beforehand and don't expect that it will be near a canal. The tour starts with a little guided walk and you will get to the gondolas later on. Everything else was great. read less

Very friendly and interesting. Our private tour was just my wife and myself, making it a special experience. However, I felt - only slightly - that our guide was a bit "scattered". He left some of the decision-making up to us, but I wish it had been just a bit more organized. Nonetheless, we learned an immense amount of facts and thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
The one negative was our "guide" (not our regular tour guide) who took us around the glass blowing facility. Although he, too, was very informative and friendly, we felt pressured to buy something (my wife bought a small set of earrings, but it didn't seem to please him, leading us to believe he got a commission on the larger items, but not the smaller ones). His response was disappointing.
Would I recommend this tour? Yes, but be prepared to say no, if you're just there for the tour. read less

Good cost-benefit. The guide was funny and friendly, but I think he could speak a little bit slower. We had some interesting commentaries about the gondoliers and other historic details through the walk. but no commentaries on the gondola. Sometimes we could not listen to him properly, as the radio cut off. The gondola ride was about 15-20 minutes and I think it could be a bit more, exploring a larger extension of the canals. 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

The chef shares so much of hard earned experience, tips, and tricks, condensed into a fast class. Further, the chef is an environmentalist, reducing waste where possible. The recipes and cooking also are basic enough that they can actually be done at home, without specialized equipment and mostly without specialized ingredients. Sometimes the chef’s passion and expertise can be a little intimidating for guests as it may come off as a little pushy, but it’s necessary if students are to do cooking and if the dishes are to come out excellent. The chef talks very fast, so a strong understanding of English will be helpful to get as much of the teaching as possible. read less

My only complaint was that the decoration was pretty restrained- you could chose the colours but that was all. No glitter/ feathers. The instructor added some guilding which really finished them off to make them look professional but I would have loved to have been able to go off piste a little!

But finally, we opted for one, and I am glad we did. It is a different experience, particularly the commentary from gondolier makes the ride even more interesting. yes - it is expensive, but an experience worth paying for. In April, the price seems to have increased a bit, and it was pretty much 80E for 30 min ride. They say 30-35 min, but our ride was over in 25 min, which we did not exactly like. but still worth the money and time spent. 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

There is no physical guide. You download the commentary on to your cellphone and activate each audio when in the right place. The audios were not in a proper sequence so it took a while to know which to use. Once properly located they told a story the observer would be much the poorer for not knowing.
"Skip the queue" was an advantage because the queues were long.
As a bonus there was also a Venice panorama commentary which was useful while wondering this wonderful city.

Had I not known a lot about glassblowing already / hadn’t known what questions to ask, I’m not sure it would have gone that well. 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

She really knew her stuff and had a background in art history so was able to give great facts about the architecture and culture and even answered some of our questions while we waited for our gondola.

I would not eat anywhere under 4 stars. The areas around St Marks Sq are pricy and not worth the experience. If you want to listen to the live music then enjoy a togo beverage and stand.

Met our guide, René, near St Mark’s and followed him on a short walk to the gondolas. While on board he talked about various points of interest on the route, the home Mozart lived in when in Venice and the opera house etc.
Roughly a quarter the price of the standard gondola tariffs seen throughout the city, and a great way to experience something unique to Venice.
We’d definitely recommend and would book again when next in Venice. 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

Aside from that little adventure- inside the palace is beautiful. Beware if you have trouble with stairs because there are plenty ! Staff at the palace are helpful . If you don’t mind waiting in a line just go directly to palace to pay for your ticket however it can get lengthy so skipping the line may be the best way to go depending the season of tourism. read less

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

There are four of us -- two adults, and two tween/teen girls (ages 12 and 14). I wasn't sure how the girls would feel about basically a craft project, but they loved it. Even moreso, my partner who was skeptical walked away really thrilled with the experience and our final results. (As he just said, "Write in the review that the dad even loved this!")
This family-owned shop has amazing masks on display. We had a ton of blank mask options to choose from, and then our instructor offered suggestions on how to decide where to add our colors. After a couple of rounds of painting, all while learning more about Venice and mask-making, he added amazing accents to each mask.
Our masks look like works of art thanks to his finishing touches, and they are proudly on display at home now that we've returned.
This is an experience we would definitely recommend! read less
