I went on this with my mother, which is not very romantic, but even with a group of friends this is fun because it is a group of gondolas together. They have a serenade which is lots of fun. We took the evening one, just as the sun was going down. Venice is amazing and there is truly no better way to explore the inner workings of it. This tour is long enough to soak it all in and then enjoy a wonderful dinner, definitely worth it!!

This was the very first thing we did in Venice and it was simply breathtaking. I wasn't sure what to expect because it was a group ride but it was fantastic. I felt like I was right in the middle of a movie.

We actually found this to be way more interesting than if we had taken a private gondola. There was approximately 8-10 boats of 6 people. In one of the boats were two older Italian men singing with an accordion they sounded awesome. The boats all travelled together through the canals. It was great!

A trip to Venice is not complete without a gondola ride. You will see the world's most beautiful city from a completely different perspective. The grand canal portion of the ride was memorable and the tour of minor canals was romantic. The music was awesome. Everybody on the tour was delighted. Even the gondoliers were singing along. I will definitely indulge myself in another gondola serenade when I visit Venice again hopefully soon.

We absolutely recommend a serenade with the gondola ride. Whether the ride is a romantic ride or pure tourism, the serenade puts you in the right frame of mind.

The gondola trip was excellent. Will not hesitate sing Viator again, or indeed recommending them to anyone else.

The gondola ride was fun, and proceeded in an orderly fashion. Our ride began at 7pm so we were able to see the sun set, and ride along the canal in the dark. The music was excellent, and though there were 8 boats, the singer could be clearly heard.

Had a wonderful time on our gondola serenade. It was VERY romantic! Viator was a great on-line source and would use them again!

We had a fabulous gondola experience! The light was perfect, near sunset, which provided for some gorgeous photos as we traveled the Grand Canal. The group serenade (with 3–4 other gondolas) was entertaining and romantic. This tour was well organized, on time and a most lovely way to see the heartbreakingly beautiful and magical city of Venezia!
