Myself and my fourteen year old daughter loved the gondola ride and serenade. We booked the trip before we left, and now know that we could have purchased the gondola ride for far less when actually there. There where enough gondola vendors, so some of our friends on the trip with us who had not booked in advance negotiated with the gondola drivers for a lot less.

We enjoyed the great ride. Our only complaint is that the voucher said gondola would hold "up to six passengers". Our gondola, which had the musician and singer, had eight passengers plus the crew and musicians.

Worth every Euro. An experience not to be missed.

Don't expect to be 'alone'. There were 4 others in the gondola and a group of 5 gondolas. If you want romantic, this is not the ride for you, but it was fun with other people!!!

We had an enjoyable Gondola ride. There were ten gondolas in our group each holding approx six people each. It was very peaceful to be on the gondolas; we took the 6:30 p.m. tour which was quite relaxing. The only thing I would mention is the that they advertise it as a serenading ride. Only one gondola has a serenader, so if there is a large group of gondolas only a few will be able to really hear the singing. We were in the last Gondola, so we heard about only ten minutes' worth. Still, we enjoyed the experience so much that I really forgot about the singing part of the experience. I booked thirty six people on this experience and we all enjoyed it very much.

Good, but a bit pot luck as to seating.

We loved it, and despite the fact that it was expensive, I think it was definitely worth doing. It's true that only two people get the lucky comfy seats on each gondola, but it was such a fun friendly atmosphere that it wasn't really a problem that it wasn't super romantic.

At first I thought I would be disappointed; however, it just kept getting better and better. Next time I will bring a bottle of vino!

I loved the gondola ride. The singer was fabulous and the whole experience was lovely - just sad it had to end so soon.

I loved the music and the view of the city but I did not like the gondolier. He was not professional.

This was quite enjoyable and what we would think of as classic Venice. There were times that some of the gondolas in our group ended up being quite a far reach from the singer, but in our case, we could hear him at all times. We were very glad we did this!

Very touristy, but if in Venice it has to be done.
