The ultimate gondola ride!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had some difficulty finding the meeting point and the correct person to talk to. The information provided is not perfectly correct and we did become a little frustrated and anxious that we would miss our timeslot. I do think this could be easily rectified by the provider. However once we had successfully checked in the activity was seamless…. It was everything you would expect it to be, my husband was mildly amused at the cheese factor of it all, but in all honesty all the other gondola’s passengers were taking videos of our’s instead! I think the music makes the ride so much more fun and romantic, both the singer and the musician were superb! It was definitely a memorable experience and a lovely way to spend our anniversary.

Memorable experience

Published on Mar, 2024

What can I say apart from breathe taking, the ambiance of Venice and the amazing singing was truly memorable. It’s something you should definitely get when visiting Venice, our singer had a beautiful voice both me and my husband really enjoyed it.

Amazing experience!

Published on Nov, 2023

This was simply amazing! The singer and the accordion player had such incredible talent! It was the highlight of our Venice trip!

Romantic

Published on Oct, 2023

The beautiful voice of Marcello Marcus serenading us thru out the tour was fabulous!! We had a nice group of 3 men taking very good care of us.

Best experience hands down!

Published on Sep, 2023

Favorite experience in Italy! Blew us away with accordion player and singer. We were the envy of everyone on the canal!
