I would have given this tour a zero except that the woman at the ticket office was polite and our accordion player was skilled. But the rest of the ride was terrible. When we got there we were told repeatedly that they were only expecting three people — even though I kept showing them that the voucher clearly said four. Because of that we were not able to get the serenaded ride we paid for. Apparently no more than five people could be in the gondola, so our singer would have been 6. In addition, after the gondoliers argued with the woman at the ticket office for five minutes about the situation, we finally began our ride. The gondolier was rude and never spoke a word to us except regarding seating. Our tour was cut short by 20 minutes because rain was coming in, but we were not offered a discount for that or the lack of the singer. When we got back, they yelled at my group to get off the boat and offered me no assistance even though I am 64 and the step off was very difficult for me. What was supposed to have been a romantic ride was ruined. Don’t waste your money on this tour. Just pick any other gondolier while you are in the city. The experience would be better.

Very short tour, it say it will be 30 minutes we barely spent 20 minutes on the gondola. A quick ride through a canal and we were back at the dock.

What can I say apart from breathe taking, the ambiance of Venice and the amazing singing was truly memorable. It’s something you should definitely get when visiting Venice, our singer had a beautiful voice both me and my husband really enjoyed it.

We had a day trip planned to Venice from Florence. Our train was delayed leaving Florence by 1 hour. Nothing we could do about it. We reached out along the way, and they said if we didn't get there at the originally scheduled time then we were out of luck. These people wouldn't wait or reschedule. THey said tough luck, no refund, no reschdeule.
No refund.
Take your 1 star review and choke on it. Hope you enjoyed my money

Directions to get our tickets were good - we arrived an hour early with our voucher and had them printed out and were told to go to the gondola pier at the appointed time. There is a quaint cafe right by the docks (Illy Cafe) where we had a nice drink before our ride. We went to the line 10 minutes early as there was a lull and were told to return in 10 minutes. By our appointed time, the place was packed with many tour groups who were given priority and we (and others who had tickets) were told to stand to the side to wait … for 20 more minutes. Finally we were instructed to go to our gondola. We had a private 45 minute ride with a musician booked … when we got on our boat and we’re about to leave I asked about our serenader and showed our ticket. I was told to sit down as we needed to leave and that there were no musicians available. We were gone 20 minutes total. The reason I didn’t rate lower and said yes to recommending is that it is a must to do a gondola ride when in Venice. There seemed to be other options that weren’t quite the s***show that this particular gondola pier was. It seemed their goal was to get people on and off as quickly as possible and take the shortest route available. Not the relaxing romantic 45 minute serenaded gondola ride I had hoped for with my wife.

Favorite experience in Italy! Blew us away with accordion player and singer. We were the envy of everyone on the canal!

I am sad to say I don’t know any of the names of our singer, Gandalf operator or accordion player. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night. So worth the extra money spent to hear the talents of these artists!
