Interesting - Short and sweet and amazing. Will be nicer if the tour started around 4pm instead of 530pm, as it was rather dark. Love the last part back at the office

Fun tour overall, wish the Gondola guide was more engaging - Our gondola guide unfortunately didn’t interact with anyone on the boat, which was a bit disappointing. On other boats, the guides were chatting with passengers about the surroundings, the buildings, and even singing songs — it created a much livelier atmosphere. The included VR experience was unique and interesting, adding something different to the overall tour. Overall, it was a good experience — informative thanks to the street tour guide, and enjoyable for its distinctive touches.

neat experience - Our friend had a back problem, if we had a moment to trade the seats even just for a moment, we could have an experience and photo of the gondola seat with the back.
