We had a very nice experience on the gondola. It was very cool moving slowly along the river as other gondolas cruised by.

This was a great way to have the gondola experience without the cost of bargaining by the canals. You share a gondola as a group of 5, so if that doesn’t bother you, it’s the best way to do it. The VR experience was a nice added touch as well!
Dear Guest, We appreciate your feedback. Thank you and hope to see you in Venice again. Regards, Nina-Venice Tours

It was cool to ride the gondola to say we did it but it was a very rushed experience. It was cold, rainy, and windy. We were hoping to cancel or reschedule the experience but it was still going on. That’s ok, because we ended up enjoying ourselves but it felt too rushed. Our gondola driver seemed burned out which is understandable because he had many rides to take.
