Absolutely amazing! The gondolier told us about some of the buildings we passed. The accordion and singer were humorous and great. Even the gondolier started singing. Very romantic. Perfect way to end our trip. Be sure to get to the ticket office early. For some reason the reservation we booked months in advance was not in their system so it took about half an hour and 5 different people to figure it out. Everyone was very helpful and nice it just took time. Then we had to walk almost a mile from the ticket office to the gondola station.

Earlier in the day prior to having taken this tour, I was already on a gondola in the afternoon; and let me tell you, the tour is literally twice as good with music and serenading. Definitely recommended.

A real highlight of our trip! The private experience lent itself perfectly to the romance of the moment, and the added feature of the musicians took it to a whole new level!! Absolute perfection!

This was a fantastic experience. I had read some pretty mixed reviews that were quite recent so I was a bit skeptical but I really have nothing but good to report. The gondolier, the singer and the musician were all so great. Lovely time.

The most fun on this trip. Exactly as I had hoped. A tourist event for sure, but that added to the experience. Cruising through the canals of Venice can only be described as wonderful. The added expense of being serenaded was worth every penny. The highlight of the trip to Italy. Corny, yes. But sooooo worth the time and expense. Do yourself a favor and book this tour.

I planned a romantic Gondola ride with my boyfriend. What I got was more like bumper cars and no serenade.

The most memorable part is the confusion and disorganization running the tour. It lasted less than 1/2 hour and cost over $500. The singer and guitarist were very good. My suggestion is do not book in advance. Just show up. You’re sure to get a deal for much less

We had some difficulty finding the meeting point and the correct person to talk to. The information provided is not perfectly correct and we did become a little frustrated and anxious that we would miss our timeslot. I do think this could be easily rectified by the provider. However once we had successfully checked in the activity was seamless…. It was everything you would expect it to be, my husband was mildly amused at the cheese factor of it all, but in all honesty all the other gondola’s passengers were taking videos of our’s instead! I think the music makes the ride so much more fun and romantic, both the singer and the musician were superb! It was definitely a memorable experience and a lovely way to spend our anniversary.

Very short tour, it say it will be 30 minutes we barely spent 20 minutes on the gondola. A quick ride through a canal and we were back at the dock.
