Gandola ride as a first timer i think for the experience is ok but other than that it is a waste of money. Next time i visit Venice (i know in my heart that there will be next time) i will just rather ride a water taxi for a fraction of a price. Our gondolier did not even said even a one word with us, the experienced we had in make-believe Venice Gandola ride in LasVegas and Philippines were so much better. Save your money People!
