Reviews
A great way to see the Venice lagoon and a few of its famous islands! Our guide was very informative and friendly, and made the experience more enjoyable. The glass blowing in Murano was great (wish we could have spent longer here) and Burano was stunning and with a good amount of time to explore and get lunch.
It was ok. Nothing special. I thought the gondola ride would be longer and I guess I misunderstood the description of the activity. The waterbus ticket to get to the palace was not included in the price. You only get a voucher for the palace entry. The palace was more interesting than the gondola ride. We sat more in gondola traffic jam than an actual smooth continuous ride. The gondola kept tipping to the right so it was not relaxing at all. Better off spending the money on a private gondola ride. You will be seated in the back center just the 2!of you. Not 5 of you in the gondola.
Excellent our guide Camilla was amazing
