It was ok

Shanon_S, Mar 2025

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.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hello Shanon, Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review. You kind feedback helps us improve our tours and experiences. We look forward to welcome you back in Venice. Sending kind regards, Team Venice Events

Meeting point doesn’t...

Dominique_P, Jan 2025

Meeting point doesn’t match up, too hard to find was 10 mins late and denied the ride. I will be requesting a refund.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your kind feedback and input. Your feedback and input helps us improve our tours. Unfortunately, we have checked the meeting point and it does correspond correctly to the one mentioned on your voucher. Lastly, we noted that on that day we had other groups and guests with the same voucher issued like yours, and they had no issues finding the meeting point. We thank you and send you our kindest regards, Team Venice Events

It was a gondola ride...

Paula_S, Oct 2024

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.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hello Paula, Thank you for your kind and honest review. Your kind feedback helps understand how our suppliers can improve their offerings. We often deliver this feedback to our suppliers in effort to improve every day the quality of the tours that are offered. The gondoliers are not expected to speak or talk with guests. Their job is to steer the boat and take control of boat in order to mind safety for the guests. Which may seem like banter, the gondoliers are communicating with each other in order to make sure they are alert of traffic and others. The route follows the same route as all other routes and may differ time wise depending on traffic. That is why it is written between 25 and 30 minutes on Viator. Thank you again and sending kind regards, Team Venice Events

Well worth the time

peter_m, Sept 2024

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

Response from Host, Sept 2024

Dear Peter, thank you for your kind and honest review. We are grateful you could join us for our tour. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Sending kind regards, Team Venice Events
