This was fantastic and totally worth the money! My husband and I traveled to Rome, Florence and Venice in July 2018. We were on a budget and didn't want to bust the budget, so went with the "shared" gondola option and then splurged to have the serenade option. The experience was unforgettable and easily the best part of our whole trip! The singer and the man with the accordion had great chemistry and were constantly interacting w/ my husband and I. I thought the 20 mins sounded kinda short, but it ended up being the perfect amount of time. Do it at sunset around 7:30 if possible. Highly recommend this to all my family members and friends, it was simply enchanting and something my husband and I will never forget!

Mit 10 mminütiger Verspätung ging es los es wurden aber auch 10 Minuten länger gemacht manchmal sagst du zwei manchmal vier und manchmal sechs Personen in einer Gondel mehr als zehn Gondel fuhren vom Hauptkanal in einem Seiten Kanal und dann ging's da zurück den Sänger und den Instrumenten Spieler konnte man teilweise hören die Gondel haben sich jeweils abgewechselt so dass alle Mal in den Genuss kam) weit weg war konnte man natürlich nicht so viel Rad also 50-prozentige Musik Garantie

おそらく特別料金を支払っているお客さんのところにミュージシャンが二人乗り込んで色々な曲を歌い演奏してくれる。特別料金がなかった場合はもしかしたら任意の船に乗ってくるかも。その船の周囲を囲むように他の船も着いていき聴くのだが、距離的に聞こえないこともしばしば(笑) あげなくてもよいのだが、事前にチップを最後に渡す場所があることが分かっていれば愛嬌たっぷりのゴンゴリエーレにチップを渡してあげたかった。 有名な箇所ではなく、乗り場の周囲を回るコースだが雰囲気を味わうには問題なし。狭い水路を船をぶつける事なく操る腕前は素晴らしい!夕方の時間狙うことをぜひ勧めます。ロマンチックすごいですよ~
