What i expected

We were 6 people in the boat but it did not matter much. The ride was still great. The 1 star off was (as expected) a bit touristic and we met with quite a bunch. But sure that is a bit where the magic went off, but then again. Going for a gondola ride in july.... We had expected it! I can surely advise this for others! Price was nice for 2, I'm not sure it's worth it if you are 3 or more though :/

Skip the line is the best option to take. Even you have to pay a little extra, I recommend to take this ticket.

Well informed

Wish we had a bit more time on each island, but I guess that’s what we tourists always want. Chiara was very informative, but at times could not hear her over the roar of the boat engines.
