Even though the weather was questionable we went on the gondola ride It was supposed to be 2!people on 2 separate gondolas We ended up ring 4 people in 1 gondola The gondolier was efficient & helpful to get on & off the gondola The serenader was delightful The ride was only 15 minutes NOT 30 minutes paid for. I do think we deserve some sort of reimbursement for the issues

The gondola ride was quaint but not even the 30 minutes we were promised! EXTREMELY disappointed. 20 minutes from departure to return. The serenade was nice. The BEST part of the tour was cruising past a restaurant that we had dinner at after. Otherwise, we would have never known it was there. Ristorante de Raffealo was incredible. The gondola event was a true disappointment for the money. Find another. Do not use this service. I should ask for a refund!

The experience was amazing. The serenade was not on our gondola, but we heard it from the other gondola, which was nice. They take you through a small canal that there is not much to see, but it's still nice. The gondolier, not so cool, but overall great experience.

There were only three boats and the accordion player and singer were in the middle boat. The sound going down the canals was beautiful! Really enjoyed the evening ride!

A huge disappointment, and certainly false advertising. In the first moment, they announced to us a couple in love that they would separate us. Which we refused. Then they piled us and others into six gondolas, some even five people per boat. There were four of us, and with my height it was difficult for me to sit across from my beloved in the boat. The musical experience at the moment when you are sitting in the last boat is miserable. The harmonica was not even heard for a while. The truth is that the money for this attraction is not worth it. Pavel Rohel p.s. The main intention was to put a love ring on the ship, my dear. When in a bad mood, it's really stupid. It's just commerce.

It was like in a movie with music and a singer. The ride was a unique experience. A one time experience, recommended 100%.

We loved it! The singer did a great job. There were 5 other gondolas moving together along with the singer, which was fine with me.

There were 30 people and only one singer. There were 7 boats sharing same singer.Sometimes we could not hear the singer however when we did it was nice. The man rowing my canoe didn’t interact with us and was not friendly. At the end they asked for tips.
