I had an incredible gondola experience in Venice from start to finish. The VR experience at the beginning was a brilliant touch, giving us a unique, immersive look at the city’s history and the canals before we even stepped outside. It really set the scene and built up the excitement for what was to come. After that, our guide Rachele took us on a lovely walk-and-talk tour towards the gondola. She was amazing from the very beginning — warm, friendly, and full of fascinating stories about Venice and everyday life along the canals. The walk itself felt relaxed and personal, not rushed at all, and she pointed out details we would have completely missed on our own. By the time we reached the gondola, we already felt connected to the city, and the ride was the perfect finale. Gliding through the water after such an engaging introduction and tour made the whole experience feel thoughtful and well put together. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and Rachele’s guidance at the beginning, along with the VR, made it truly memorable.

Amazing experience!! The Murano and Burano are stunning islands worth visiting! The tour guide Atena was brilliant! She was knowledgeable and very helpful. This tour included Venetian food and wine and she arranged for me to have a vegan option available. Well worth the money!
