The gondola ride was incredible, starting from a beautiful spot near the Palazzo Ducale. However, we arrived at the shop 15 minutes before our scheduled ride, and the long queue made things a bit stressful. Everyone with a gondola ride at the same time seemed anxious, as we were unsure if we’d make it in time. We had to check in to receive the number of our assigned gondola, and at the scheduled time, a staff member led everyone to their gondolas. I believe the process could be explained more clearly on the tickets to avoid unnecessary stress. Despite that, everything went smoothly, and it was an amazing experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Venice.
