It was a horrible experience. We were sent multiple addresses for meeting point. Walked back and forth between them for almost an hour. Then waited to get on the gondola for another half hour.
A wonderful way to experience Venice from the water. The gondola ride along the Grand Canal and smaller canals offers beautiful views of historic buildings and charming hidden corners of the city.
