The undisputed star of this experience will be the spritz, a historic cocktail with uncertain origins made with Prosecco, Aperol, and a splash of sparkling water or Seltz, but everyone has their secret mix to make it special. To gift you a true Venetian experience the aperitif will be accompanied by cicchetti, savory snacks, and vegetable chips.
You will find yourself in a truly fascinating building, located behind Piazza San Marco. Illy café is a former greenhouse and thanks to its structure enjoys natural light at all hours of the day. Another delightful scene that the location provides is the Royal Garden, a small green lung in the center of the city.
Finally, discover the city with a mobile app. Download it on your phone and enjoy 6 itineraries with their best attractions and bacari (typical wine bars). Listen to the audio narration of the city’s highlights (200 points of interest) and explore Venice with your family or friends.

I had already heard of the italian cocktail spritz and once in italy i wanted to try it out! A truly savoury experience thanks to the cicchetti side dishes to accompany it, to not forget the stunning place in which they were served to us, just few feets behind St. Mark's Square!

The staff were not aware of this experience and sent me away several times. After 27 minutes, a manager finally figured out about the experience I had purchased. They would not let us visit the garden or sit in the garden sections as advertised. They also had no idea about the app with the audio tour. They did provide a snack and drink as advertised. I would recommend not going and that this be taken down until the people who work there can be trained how to deliver the services

We had the tour on Feb 4 during the Carnival opening; our photographer tour leader was so good sharing tricks and information on how to improve our photo skills that now we can go back home with much better shots from our vacation.
Thank you!

The gondola guy didn’t stop talking to another guy on the gondola so I couldn’t even record video with live music.

The gondola ride was lovely, serenade beautiful and the dinner was charming. However, the tour guide never showed up so we had a terrible time boarding the gondola and understanding any details about the dinner. We were virtually unaccompanied and probably could have had a better experience doing this without a tour.

In the past we have had excellent Viator trips. Unfortunately this one was very disappointing. No guide was there to greet us or guide us to our gondola location. The gondola manager lost our paper confirmation and we had to find our own way to the restaurant after the ride which was very difficult.The food was mediocre at best. Hopefully Vitor will correct the situation.

Very disappointed as there was no music and no commentary - did not get the full experience of the description that was on the ticket when purchased.
Dinner was nice and the Gondola ride was average.

We had the Gondola with music and dinner. Received a text message to confirm location and instructions which was scheduled for 6:30. We arrived at the location 45 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. Nobody was there with the sign. We asked around and nobody knew. We got in the gondola with another couple but there was no music. The ride ended in 30 minutes and there was no dinner.

The gondola ride was lovely and the music fantastic. The restaurant was lovely with a good variety and great food.
The restaurant owner was great
The gondoliers on the other hand, we’re at best, offish

The gondola ride and music were actually great, in the late afternoon it is a lot less crowded, and the music was excellent. The dinner wasn't that great, we had to negotiate with the staff to use our voucher, and the food wasn't anything wonderful. Stick to the ride, try the Restaurant Caravelle just over the bridge.
