I enjoyed Venice and the gondola ride was a big hit for my girlfriend and I.

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.

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!

It was wonderful. It isn't a private gondola ride, but we knew that before we went on it. The serenade was magical.

We enjoyed very much the evening trip at sundown with all the illuminations on alongside the waterfront.

Friendly gondolier made for a good time in a crowded gondola. The canals were beautiful during the day, but are not lighted at night, which makes it harder to take in the grandeur of the canals. We are glad we decided to take the ride.

Hard finding the actual place to take the gondola ride.
