Singing gondola ride - Floating through the canals was very peaceful. Our singer did a great job. Our gondolier was a handsome young man. It seemed like he was still learning but he was great and made the trip fun

Venice Gondola Serenade - Wonderful experience on the canal. We sang along with ”Volare” and enjoyed all the looks and waves from the bridges.

Fantastic local Venice experience - It was a fun ride, and I’m glad we did it. The singer was not on our boat but the one behind us but we could still hear, especially in the narrow canals with high walls. Very authentic local experience. We were also fortunate to have hilarious boat mates with another couple.

Top tier romance in a beautiful city - This is the only way to do a Gondola ride as a couple. It was so lovely to have a guitarist and singer on our boat singing Italian love songs as we float the canals of Venice. Absolutely astounding!

A Crash Dream on Gondola Ride with Serenade - Arrived first in line and I was placed in the last gondola with a side unsteady chair as per the person who was choosing where will be seating each one without respecting the order of arrival. Very disappointed experience. I was unable to enjoy the view and watch the serenade from the other gondola because of the position of the chair. I wouldn’t recommend this Venice Gondola Ride and Serenade specially if you come from other continent to enjoy a dream gondola ride.

Dissatisfied - Was looking forward to this gondola ride but was confusing to find where to meet and then disorganised when we were queuing. The ride lasted around 25mins and were part of 5 boats with a singer on board one of them. Our boat was at the front and could not clearly hear the singer
It was an expensive and not worth the cost. I would recommend walk round Venice and book your own as there are plenty you can walk up too.

Rudeness - Very rude attendants at the dock. I declined to go with them. Would recommend another company We walked around and found a guy who took us and was amazing.

Distracted and disorganized gondoliers - Our gondolier was staring at his phone quite a bit while having a loud conversation with the other gondolier ahead of us. The boats were too separated to hear the music for the serenade over the conversation. We had a much better experience with the same tour back in 2022. Definitely will not go with this operator again.
