Relaxing and entertaining. We enjoyed the gondola ride with pretty scenery. Elliott and Sean were fantastic guides. The lemon cream pastries and chocolate covered macadamia nuts were terrific!

Elliot was very informative with the history of the canal that the Venetian Gondola ride. We had a very relaxing tour after the hectic day we had. We didn’t have to share the gondola. We we’re the last couple of the night. Loved the little laser lights. We did the evening tour. They have drinks and snacks.

Don’t miss out on this great experience. This is the first gondola ride we’ve ridden and it was perfect. Elliot our gondolier was friendly and shared many stories with us. There was music, desserts, and drinks! Bring your own bottle of bubbly to make it even better. We recommend this if you’re looking for a nice romantic evening or just for a new experience.
