SUPER disappointed in this activity - so I'll start off with the fact that it is a little scarier than it seems, you actually load onto the gondola in the lagoon, think ferries, boats, gondolas everywhere and WAVES! eek! so it was me, my friend and my mom - she is 75 but healthy. Getting into the boat was a DROP, no step down, didn't help her and she slammed down and hurt her back - in the meantime she has to sit immediately as the boat will tip. Scary experience and the gondolier was NO help. No idea of his name as i don't think he spoke a lick of English. then we are on, had 2 others on with us so 5 people total, we're spooked after getting in and feeling like we will tip any second; a freaking ferry pulls out in front of us from the water taxi stand and causes waves - well, we learned how to say stupid and a$$hole in Italian from our driver, that's about all we got out of him the entire time. that ferry should NOT have taken off with all the gondolas leaving! wow!! Anyway, once we got into the canal, the gondolier zipped us thorough, passing other boats, etc - never spoke or anything; looped us through and then we were done, it's quick as expected, 30 mins or less. Glad we didnt' pay for a singing guy, although maybe we should have to have had a better experience!? Getting out was better, you are in the canal and there are steps - ummmm, hello, load people here!!! Oh and we were doing the one under the bridge of sighs, if i hadn't taken a tour the night before, i would not have even known what it was since he didn't speak at all - what a bust of a tour!

This was a waste of time and money. 1 of is could not get on the gondola, the other 2 of us 1 has bruised arm from them helping her on . The driver never said one word to us, we had no idea what we were doing or where we going. The operator who we checked in with was rude, more worries anout his card game, and talking with friends. Acted like we were bothering him when we asked anything. This out of the several Tours we have taken is the first I wish we could have a refund
