Chose a 9.15am slot for 30 minutes and it was a great time , quiet and less crowds - Good experience . We liked that it went for 30 mins only . It was just right . Instructions of meeting places were easy to follow.

Venice gondola ride - First, Venice is a confusing city to get around in. The streets aren’t very well marked. Give yourself extra time to find where you need to be.
We enjoyed our gondola ride very much. It was very relaxing and the pilot did a great job.

Well worth the time - It was fantastic. However I paid for 6 tickets and 4 people did not make it due to illness and there was no offer of a reduced rate or refund

Nice Gondola Ride, but watch for Amendments - Nice Gondola ride through parts of Venice. One major concern. I originally booked this in January as a PRIVATE tour, but the operator changed it weeks later to a SHARED tour. By the time I realized it on their website, plans were already firm. They used the word AMENDED on the website and I checked what that meant. Which meant they changed it, but didn't bother to notify me. Nonetheless, it worked out fine even though the younger couple that shared the ride encroached on our space with all their selfies pictures.

The tour company is... - The tour company is amazing. They made sure we all stayed together and got us to our spot on time. A few of us missed a turn with them but got us right away. The ride was really nice as well. The only item they could improve on is to engage with the customer and not joke around so much with their co workers.

It was ok - Nice 30 minute ride...wish I opted for a longer one. Beware when getting on the boat, there is nothing to hang on to and the lady in front of us face planted. I'd try to find a better more private option next time.

It was a gondola ride... - It was a gondola ride once in a life time experience. The driver was rude, our ride was supposed to be 30 minutes but it was only 22 minutes. The seats were hard no cushions
the other boats had cushions. We thought we had paid for a private ride but it wasn’t.

Not a good tour - Not sure if we got a shortened version of this trip, but we just went down some little alleyway and then out into the grand Canal for about one minute and then turned around and went back down the alleyway. It was about a 20 minute ride and very disappointing. We just kept settling on boats and didn’t really see anything except for one alleyway that we went up and down for the entire ride. We had expected to be on the grand Canal and seeing some of the beautiful sites of Venice, but all we saw were the sides of buildings inside a tiny alleyway. We were on the grand Canal for less than 10 minutes and just to turn around and go back down the alley.

Rude operators - Boatman was rude and unprofessional. Called customers unprofessional nicknames and was rude to elderly people struggling to get off the boat.
