Unlike in Vegas, I do not fall off the gondola much better this time I felt like I was in Italy because I was
Lorenzo was our gondolier, he was awesome! We enjoyed talking with him the entire ride. When asked, he gave recommendations for a restaurant for dinner that he goes to. It was a great place also. I see people commenting on pricing for a ride, you are in Venice, it’s a gondola. I’m assuming you didn’t swim here to save a few bucks. Go ahead and enjoy the time you’re here and do it. It made a wonderful memory for our family.
A gondola ride in Venice is a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend visiting Venice and enjoying this unique activity before it sinks! 👀
