The best perspective to admire Venice is from the water and the gondola is the very best way to discover the city and experience how, in the past, Venetians moved from a district to another. That is a unique experience that you cannot miss!
This gondola ride differs from all the other standard rides due to its special duration: 45 minutes instead of standard 30!
The route of this Gondola ride starts few steps far away from Rialto Bridge, crossing hidden inner canals so then you can admire original glimpses that otherwise you cannot notice when walking through the city centre. But that’s not all! Let youself be marveled by the majestic Rialto Bridge, one of the most ancient and famous bridges in Venice.
Don't forget that this is a private tour, so you can let yourself be rocked by the waves of Canal Grande with the people closest to you, having an entire gondola at your disposal, for up to 5 people.

To find the Gondola Ride Station was difficult, the service at the was terrible, the ride was quite good , but it is too expensive.

I booked this ride, based on the positive reviews, in advance of coming to Venice. Finding the place was easy enough (although it was somewhat hidden away behind Piazza San Marco) and we were directed to the checkin office. I was waiting behind two other couples. The owner apparently was handling a large group of tourists, and did not communicate at all with us waiting. At one point, he literally closed the window. He was obviously flustered. The owner provided no information on the what and the how, and we were just left waiting in line.
The first couple finally got their QR code (apparently needed for the gondelier to get paid) and he proceeded to close the service window. After we started to make some noise after 40 ( ! ) minutes of waiting, and my booking time coming up fast (I was 45 minutes early), we were finally informed he was overbooked and running over 1.5 hours behind. He pointed to GetYourGuide and TripAdvisor for the mistake. In my mind, if you use these services you should have a working system to manage your bookings. Clearly, he took in more than he could handle. We didn't have the luxury of time, neither did the couple ahead of us. I have requested (and expect) a full refund as this was a complete failure on the gondola company.
I advise TripAdvisor to revisit their relationship with this company.
Definitely NOT recommended!

Seeing Venice from the water and gliding through the canals is such a unique experience. We loved it! Glad we opted for the 40 minute trip as the time went by so fast. We opted for first thing in the morning when temperatures were perfect. Wish our guide had shared more stories/history or even serenade for an authentic experience. All in all highly recommend.

Very nice time with my bride. Beautiful ride is a great city. Our gondolier was very very quiet, but understandable given the boat traffic. It was a peaceful, safe ride. We went early, highly recommend. Boat and crowd traffic gets much heavier later in the day

We paid specifically for this one because it was 40 minutes and it lasted 31 minutes, and that was after sitting for 5 mins waiting for other boats to pass us when there was a jam on one of the canals.

Absolutely great,
We were 20 minutes late because we were stuck in traffic and still got the full fare. The driver was super nice and explained a lot to us. We were on the big canal and in quieter and also beautiful streets.

This gondola ride was the high point of our trip and we would highly recommend it! The gondola was neat, clean, and comfy, and the gondolier was great!

Lovely experience just slowly floating through the Venetian canals and seeing all the buildings
Our gondola operator was friendly and pointed out a couple of areas of interest and we drifted onto the grand canal recommendation easy footwear and comfortable clothing as you have to negotiate getting into and out of the gondola not for somebody that has great difficulty walking or standing
