    This was a nice way to end our day exploring Venice. The boat and gondolier were excellent. However we were there in what is not considered peak season and there were much cheaper fares on offer than we paid (we would have got it for half the price if we booked while there). However in peak season (April - June) this deal would have been worthwhile.

    We booked the private tour because my partner and I also brought our children along (2 and 3 years old). I would definitely recommend this. The guide doesn’t talk much (we didn’t book a guided tour) but he did point out the major places along our trip. Everyone involved in the process (redeeming our tickets, boarding the gondola, and the actual gondolier) was very friendly. I loved it

    This was well organized and the gondolier was clearly experienced. The timing was excellent (5:30pm) because the sun was going down and it was beautiful. It was all over quite quickly, not sure we got our 30 minutes, but it was still worth it. Thoroughly enjoyable.
