Amazing

My wife and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary on this trip and I have a feeling the rest of the days won’t match this experience as this will be a lifelong memory. The guitar player and the singer( didn’t get their names) were both amazing. Their talent ranks as some of the best I have listened to. I highly recommend this experience.

Wow - Amazing!

The gondola ride with musicians through the Grand Canal and quiet back canals was amazing! I have no doubt it will be the highlight of our entire trip through Italy. Wow ~ what a life memory for my wife and I.

A one-of-a-kind experience.

We booked it with 3 friends, but we had a full 30 minutes on a private boat, with a singer and accordionist on the same boat, without any other tourists!! The songs were also included in the set list of famous songs related to Venice and Italy, which were enjoyable throughout. The meeting place was easy to understand. However, at first I didn't know that the journey to the dock was with the other people who booked the carpool gondola, so I mistakenly thought someone was coming to pick me up. If you speak to an attendant who is guiding you on a carpool gondola at the same time, they will take you! Also, while on the gondola, it’s the same busy street route as other ships, so personally I was a little embarrassed that other ship passengers and people from the bridge would take pictures of our ship and get noticed…
