We only got a 15 minute gondola ride! We were promised more. We had to wait a long time while most of the group were riding and then got a very short ride in order to make the meeting for the walking tour. The walking tour was very good. I am asking Viator for a $30 refund per ticket.

We missed our originally scheduled tour time (thunderstorm plus Venice is very hard to navigate at times- leave your hotel early!) but we were able to get on with another tour and were so grateful! Our tour guide was a native Venetian and passionate about city history. There is a lot you miss in the narrow streets and she covered so much. We had time to do the gondola ride, which was lovely and lasted about 20 minutes. The queue for the gondola was a little hectic and we were standing in the sun for a while so bring water and a parasol if you’re visiting in the summer. Otherwise, great experience.

The gondola ride was nice but they just take you around, no discussion about anything, very assembly-line like (and you can get a gondola ride on your own for significantly chaper). However, the walking tour was not good. We expected a walking tour of ~ 1.5- 2 hours and the guide spent the first 20 minutes checking out the radios. Then, we saw no highlights of Venice at all. It was like she just wanted to take us to see three sisterns and a theatre that had burned down a couple of times in a non-descript part of the area near where the tour office was for 50 minutes. She spent more time telling us over and over about how we had to stay to the side so anyone (other than us) could get by, where she was going to turn and how we had to be back for the gondola (why the tour was so short). It felt like maybe this tour operator got paid by the city to keep tourists out of the way.The walking tour part wasn't a tour at all but a complete waste of time and money.

We had a great adventure with our gondola and later with Donatella, who we are highly recommending. We saw a lot of secret sightseeings around Venice and also had a lot of information concerning the relationship of Verona to our country.

The gondola ride was good. The walking tour was good in the way you saw things you wouldn’t see otherwise although at times it was rather boring and hard to understand the guide as he mumbled

We enjoyed the Gondola Ride and the walking tour very much.
The guide was very informative and walked us through very interesting alleys and kept us attentive.

Gondola ride was actually really good. Loved the smaller canals and a little of the grand canal. Walking tour was a bit fast paced but overall good experience :)

The gondola ride was amazing with plenty of picture opportunities! It was relaxing, with opportunities to talk to locals if you know Italian.
For the walking tour, it was very boring. The guide talked mainly about architecture, which I have no interest in.
