Great guide with good information. With as many gondola services available, better signage and “pre trip ” info would be helpful.

The tour location was easy to find if you followed the directions emailed to you. The gondolier was ok and upon return he did tell us a little of what we were seeing. The trip only 20 minutes and it returned you from where you started. Then dinner dorections were only the name of the restaurant. Somehow a separate ticket didn’t come to me. The restaurant refused us and made us walk 10 minutes back to gondolier. He helped us retrieve his paper out of the trash. We then walked that back to the restaurant and this time they took us. You get two courses and a side yes but a very limited selection while people around you had good looking dishes. They you must pay for water or anything to drink with meal. Food was ok but restaurant we small and very busy. Not worth what we paid at all

Great time! Enjoyable and educational ride to remember! Amazed on how the gondoliers maneuver the gondolas.

Our young Venetian guide Ricardo was fabulous! Speaks French very well. Perfect anecdotes and explanations. Great 30 min gondola ride. Little surprise on arrival, it was great! I recommend.

An hour Gondala and supper was never worth 239 CHF ,
I thought the gondala would a little not just around the block and Dinner was awful to say the least, not a real restaurant

When we arrived for our pre-reserved and paid for ride the operator said there was no boat to take us and he was very rude... we should have been contacted in advance. Then he told us to come back in an hour but we did and he never showed up! We walked a LONG way to the restaurant to make sure we could eat later (and they were very nice) but it was too far to go back when we never got our ride. I had better receive a refund! There are plenty of GREAT gondoliers in Venice... I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

The Gondolier was informative, attentive, very accommodating! He did a great job! Took his time, was not hurried and was very informative!
The dinner was delicious! Fortunately the gondolier directed us to the restaurant. Google maps does NOT work well in Venice!
The dinner was good, but, they did nickel and dime on many items!
Finally, again Viator/Trip Advisor really needs to do a better job of communications on the meeting place. Again we had to call in to get specific instructions before we were able to locate the meeting place.

We booked two tours with TRIP ADVISOR in Venice. BOTH were incredibly challenging to find the meeting personnel! Both times we had to call and the person we chatted with had to call the operator to get us connected. TA needs to do a better job of describing the point.
The Fall in Love tour was superb! Our Gondolier was fantastic. He took a special interest in us. Was very informative and took his time. There was no rush at all. VERY nice and recommend this tour.
The dinner following was the best tasting dinner we had in Venice. While they "nickel and dimed" us, the taste was excellent

The Gondola experience was what my wife had been hoping for and our gondolier was first class all the way. We even forgot our back back and he got the tour operator to call us so we could go back.
