Very efficient staff and easy to find meeting place. Short walk to the gondola and considering quite a few others had booked for the same time, it was very quick to get us all placed on the gondola. The gondolier was very friendly and amusing. Lovely ride along the canals network and onto the grand canal. Well worth the money to experience seeing Venice from a gondola.

For those who have little time and do not want to spend a significant amount, it is ideal. You cannot visit Venice and not take a beautiful gondola ride. And if you are lucky enough like me to find a nice gondolier available for any explanation, this is the top

quite pleasant tour and the duration is in accordance with what has been announced. The real downside is that the gondolier did not say a single word to us the entire trip and spent his time yelling and laughing with the surrounding gondoliers during the entire ride. Calm level, romanticism or guide, to review therefore.
