The instructions are not clear. We could not find meeting point, when we finally found through the friendly kiosk operator, we were 30 seconds late. He said they just left and called the agent. Agent said nothing doing - she can’t help if we could not see the meeting point

Well worth the extra cost to add a singer! He was excellent and very entertaining! It was a highlight of our Venice trip! However, if you want a peaceful, romantic gondola ride this was not it.

We had a gondola ride from a pick up/ drop.off on the rio del palazzo near the 3 bridges. See photo for location.
It was supposed to be a 1 hour trip.
Trip was at best 35 - 40mins.
We paid extra for a longer trip.
Dont get caught out like we did.

Being in Venice forces you to take with you the memory of a gondola ride, which we did,
We took the gondola at one of the inner canal points, not very crowded.
The price was 80 euros for a walk between interior canals and 100 euros if you went out to the main canal, and we chose this option.
It is wonderful to navigate the canals, passing under several bridges and exiting to the main canal, seeing the Rialto Bridge crowded with people from the water and passing under it there and back.
Thank the gondolier for his kindness, giving us explanations about the relevant monuments and houses we passed by.
A wonderful gondola ride

My husband & I were on vacation to Venice to celebrate our #55 anniversary and were determined to make sure we got in a private gondola ride on this trip.
We have been to Venice several other times but with a group and on those gondola rides, we were always with 2 other couples and never got to sit in the nice chairs that are provided just for a couple.
Well, on our anniversary we did get to have our 1st gondola ride and our gondolier was soooo funny and made the ride so memorable.
We went up & down several canals, under bridges & walkways and even out to the Grand Canal and saw the Rialto Bridge.
Several days later, we were also determined to make sure we got another gondola ride in before we left Venice.
This was a great ride also, seeing the Grand Canal with the beautiful buildings along the water, seeing water taxis going by and we were so glad we took another ride.
Our gondolier was very pleasant and pointed out numerous historical sites along the way.
This was truly so much fun and FINALLY glad we got our own private rides...priceless!

After lunch we took the iconic Gondola ride, covering some main canals and the more quiet ‘back street’ canals. This provided a much different perspective to the various bridges; houses etc. A “must do” when in Venice.

Ended up cancelled. Didn’t find the location in time because it was not clearly marked and hidden on one side of a cart shop, mistaked a different tour for it as they both are in the same space.

5 + people per gondola. Definitely need to be there 10-15 minutes in advance. Nice way to see Venice

Definitely not recommended. Not friendly and not even 15 minutes. It was not worth it at all. This was at the Rialto bridge.
