Gondola Ride and St Mark's Basilica Tour

Posted By : Roxanne_E
Gandula experience was not enjoyable. It was so uncomfortable riding while the other 2 people sat comfortable. We were a party of 3 and sat on chairs. Totally not worth it. They so t make it fun at all. It was also crowded. The church guide was very knowledgeable but He just left us in the church. It’s over and then we had to wait a while for the gondola tour. Not sure I would recommend this tour. It’s all about the business not about a quality experience.

Indifferent guide, who made public a physical discomfort of one of us in a manner that was unprofessional and embarrassing. We decided to withdraw from the tour since the guide was maintaining a speed that was too fast for us. The gondola ride started almost 45 minutes after the scheduled time. The manager did not care to inform the guests the reasons for the delay. Depressing guest management practices.

Honestly go do it! It's an experience that's worth the price. It cost us about €80. We did it for the experience "when in venice vibe" but it was 100% worth it. The guys who guide the gondolas are amazingly insightful. They will answer all questions, take pictures and just make the whole experience very enjoyable.

St. Marks tour was not good. Tour guides English was not easily understood and your earphones are very low quality which made the experience difficult. Gondola ride was acceptable.

Tour guide was good, Mark, but the meeting point and crowds were difficult to maneuver. The tour company seemed disorganized, radios had several issues and the gondola ride was less than 15 minutes around the block. Wouldn’t book again.

My wife and I arrived in Venice around 9.30am via train. With assistance from some locals we eventually found the designated area for meeting the tour. For early October the whole area was manically busy with an excessive number of other tour groups. Prior to the meeting time we hurriedly moved around these crowds for 15 minutes looking for our guide, who was meant to be dressed in a particular coloured outfit and be holding a listed flag. We never found this guide, to our extreme disappointment & sadness at missing our much awaited tour.

We got to the tour and the guide was knowledgeable but the sound was super scratchy and a lot of feedback so it was hard to understand anything. Then we were told to go back to the meeting point for the gondola ride. The kiosk was all boarded up. When I called support they called someone who said they forgot to tell us the gondola ride portion wouldn’t be for another 3 hours. Nowhere in the tour description did it say the gondola ride was that much later in the day. We weren’t able to make it for the gondola ride because of this. Waiting to see if my partial refund request was approved.

The travel guides had to make quick changes to this itinerary since it started to rain pretty heavy and the gondola ride was not possible. They rescheduled the ride until late afternoon and switched the tour of St. Mark's Basilica so we were able to do both. Quick thinking and coordination to make sure we didn't miss either.

They ripped us off. The tour was supposed to start at 11:45 it didn’t start till 3 and the gondola ride was literally 7 minutes and I paid for 45 minutes, so unfair along with the bad treatment

This tour was a must see while in Venice! Beautiful canals and we really liked hearing the live music from a couple of the boats!
