Venice gondola ride - Our guide Veronica gave us a short and informative introduction of Venice important sites on our way to gondola embarking spot , and met us after the ride for follow up augmented reality Venice history session. Our gondolier was a very good guide as well to tell about Venice gondolier’s work and some fascinating facts about Venice.

Traditional experience - Wonderful experience on a traditional gondola but slightly misleading on the description - you don't go far on the grand Canal (maybe the equivalent to 2 blocks, the rest is the small canals). Enjoyable none the less. The tour guide (Ronaldo) during part of the trio was wonderful with lots of interesting facts and historical knowledge.

Lacked commentary! There was none. - There was no live commentary on the tour. Our canal driver was great at getting through the tight spots. Canals were very crowded.

Not really a guided tour - The sign in area is tricky to locate because it is just a group of people who set up a temporary location for 5 minutes to get guests signed in and then they pack up again. The “tour with commentary” part was just walking to where their gondolas actually are and hearing a little bit about someone who grew up in Venice. The actual gondola tour was not guided at all and was just a regular gondola tour. Save your money and just pay a gondolier directly. This tour was more expensive than just walking up and getting on, and really was not worth the extra money.

A little disappointed - Not a lot of information shared by the tour guide and the gondola operator responded very minimally to questions.
