4.00Overall a good city walking tour which will give you an impressive overview of Venice and its many nooks and crannies. The Gondola ride (obviously) was wonderful. Only honest feedback is, the overall pace could be a little slower especially for first timers to grasp the essence.
Would recommend!

2.00The tour was informative and interesting. I wasn't aware that I would be sharing a gondola with people that I did not know. The other couple sat in the lounge seating while my wife and I sat on opposides of the boart on small stools. Tfe lounging couple kept asking us to take pictures of them while we were trying to stay perched onto our stools. The gondola ride was miserable riding with another couple who we had no idea who they were. It was really ridiculous and I wish this was explained in the details or on the tour. Had I known I wouldn't even gotten on the gondola. Really disappointing.
Just do it!
