Venice Gondola Ride and Serenade

My family (wife and 2 year old) had a blast! We were lucky to be in the same boat as the singer and the musician so that was great for us. Although I felt bad for the other boats who didn't have the signers in their boat.”

This gondola ride was everything we dreamed it would be. I took my 79 year old Mom on a once in a lifetime trip this fall and on her bucket list was a gondola with serenade, we got there and they were lovely to her from the very beginning! The two older gentlemen singers were lovely, as soon as they realized that she was quietly singing along with them they urged her to join in and it was amazing! It was a fantastic experience that I would do again and again - I can see Venice becoming an annual holiday for my family. Thank You!”

Venice is sooo beautiful. Shopping is very good. Everything is very close to our hotel.Would recommend my family and friends to go to Venice as well.”

very nice trip and worth the money, we had a shared gondola with a serenade it was about half an hour and at 6:30 in the evening when the sun was setting. definitely recommend”

This was a last minute - we have time - let's Gondola! Booked it an hour before, no issues! Was a fabulous experience at dusk with singing gondolier in an accompanying boat. Highly recommend - it is a shared Gondola, but (2) other couples - one from Spain and one from Ukraine were absolutely fun - we all took pictures so everyone had a memory.”

Very good for the price and value A little hard to locate but once we did no problem Gondola driver should refrain from smoking during the ride”

If you don't mind being with other travelers and want to experience a peaceful ride with a serenade, This is the one for you!! Note buy a small(375 ml.) bottle of wine.”

They were very accommodating, entertaining, and enjoyable during our gondola ride. Highly recommend it.”

We organised this back in Sydney and we’re really happy we did. I organised for us a another couple. We read the inclusions and we had a ball. It was easy to find and the four of us were lucky enough to have our own gondola in the flotilla. The serenades was on another but his voice carried well. It was excellent. We found the gondoliers funny and entertaining. Awesome experience thank you”

Last minute booking, our hotel printed our docket, which you need to take to the embarkment Quay, we were taken by Gondola over the Grand Canal and through the narrow alley ways - sung to most of the way, thoroughly enjoyed it - Bravo!!”

The planning and execution of this tour was great! We had the luck of getting the singer in our gondola, therefore we had ”first row” experience!”

I was very apprehensive about buying this gondola ride. It just seemed too good to be true. I was concerned i wouldn't be able to find the starting point and the directions to the place the gondolas left from said that it closed at 1800 when our gondola ride was at 1830 and i was convinced this was going to be a scam but i took a chance and was so glad i did. I was travelling with a 10 and 14 year old and my 10 year old wanted to go under a bridge in the gondola which he got to do. We shared a gondola and didnt get to side by side next to each other but being an odd number of 3, this wasn't likely to happen anyway. The ride went on for more than 30minutes and we were in the grand canal for some of it and through the smaller inlets through the city. We weren't in the area of the rialto bridge but it was pleasant enough. There were 3 maybe 4 gondolas departing at the same time and going along the same route with one hosting a singer and his accompanying musician. We could hear the music at all times. It was very enjoyable and an amazing deal! I've already recommended it to all my friends! Will definitely do again.”

For anyone coming to Venice, this is a special way to experience the celebration of life and music. The artists performed with their heart, as we watched the golden rays of sunset kiss the waves of the grand canal and its tributaries.”

This was awesome and well worth it. The serenade was fantastic and sang wonderful songs. This was the highlight of my trip to Venice.”

This was a great family experience. As a family of 5 with 3 children ages 9, 11 and 13 we thoroughly enjoyed experiencing a gondola ride (which we had to ourselves as the max seems to be 6) going down lots of narrow, interesting canals and under lots of bridges. An excellent, affordable way to experience a very special opportunity in Venice. Highly recommend to families of any ages!”

My daughters quote...after the ride they said it was awesome and was glad that I booked it as it would have been boring without the serenade part. We were lucky to have the singer and accordian player in our gondola.”

Loved the tour. Easy and fast booking. Details of meeting point was. Rry accurate and easy to get to. We got lucky and rode WITH the 2 entertainers who were great! Totally would recommend this to everyone”

We did this flotilla gondola ride on our honeymoon. It was a fun and very neat way to see and enjoy the city and get a real appreciation for the canals of Venice. Our singer was funny and charming and there was an extremely talented accordionist too. Easy to find and very worth the experience!”

This Gondola ride and Serenade was perfect and made our trip to Venice extra special. We had a singer and another guy with an accordion so it made the ride so atmospheric 👍 This is a must !!! Don’t miss out !!!”

This was a great experience. The line was organized when we arrived and at 6:30 they put groups into each boat. We lucked out and got the singer/guitar player on our boat so it was a lovely ride. We rode in a group of 6 Gondola and it was a nice "spin around the block" and lasted exactly 30 minutes. It felt safe to do it through this tour vs someone on the street.”

Amazing gondola ride through the grand canal and into smaller waterways through the city. Lovely serenade and acordian player, recommend to any couple visiting Venice!”

The tour was very good. You are serenaded throughout the tour. only 30 min. and could have gone for more..”

Highly recommend this trip. The serenade was lovely. We experienced this at night and found it to be the perfect time.”

We took a serenaded gondola ride around the Grande Canal and little side canals at twilight. The children, including teenagers, in our party loved it and pleaded to go again during our stay. Don't miss this, great value!”
