Being on the water for the 23 minutes we got to be. The picture (no help from our guide) I guess was worth the money.

Nice ride on a 5 person gondola. Luckily I got to sit with my partner, but just know, you could be split up and end up in separate gondolas.

Had a great time on the gondola ride with my friend, we both thought the views and general experience were well worth the money (and much cheaper than just approaching gondolas without booking, especially if you are a smaller party). However the meeting point is not so clearly described in the instructions and the picture shows further down the street rather than the actual shop you need to go into to start the experience. This lead to late arrivals and trouble finding where we were supposed to be going - but this could very easily be changed/updated! Overall worth doing on your visit to Venice and I'd suggest this is the best place to book it.

The gondola experience was very classic Venice. My daughters enjoyed it very much. Venice is awesome and riding the gondola is a must do if you go.

The guide was very, very accommodating and we loved that he took us to the little shop at the end with a VR experience. That was a pleasant surprise.
