Die Erläuterungen zur Bedeutung und Bau der Gondeln war sehr informativ. Die Gondelfahrt selbst war okay, aber nicht übermäßig beeindruckend. Man sitzt in der Gondel, wenn man zu fünft unterwegs ist und lange Beine hat, doch sehr beengt.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, much better than we expected. Anita was wonderful engaged and easy to understand. Enjoyed watching glass demonstrations and see all the glass exhibition which was outstanding. The only thing we would change is a bit more time on each island and would have been happy to pay a bit more to accommodate this. Thank you so much 👍
