Rafael Werner – BrazilNovember 29, 2023 – Verified booking
Gondola rides are mandatory for anyone visiting and must be in a private or private group. very good, but if there were other people there it would lose some of its charm. There was no guide app and the gondolier said practically nothing, the package purchased was just the gondola ride. but the trip is worth it

Notre guide Rodriguo a été super du début à la fin! Par contre la balade en gondole ne vaut vraiment pas le prix, vous le ferez parce que c’est typique de Venise mais c’est très cher pour ce que c’est…. Je tiens quand même à préciser que le prix sur GetYourGuide est moins chère que sur place

Very friendly guide and very precise in his explanations concerning the history of the city. Very delighted with this first experience. The extraordinary gondola ride, you wish it took a few minutes longer. Honestly perfect, I don't regret having used the application for the reservation. Details of the precise meeting point. THANKS
