I love Italy and I love Venice! Have been three times now and people lie about the smell, I didnt think its smelt at all anytime and I have been in the peak of summer!

I decided the splash out on a Gondola ride last time I went, they are pricey! for obvious reasons but you get the see the city in a completly different way!

I love venice!

Had a nice long gondola ride in Venice on my September 2015 trip to Italy. It was a major highlight of the trip!

Went to Venice and did the full tourist thing. Had a hours ride in a gondola. 

EXPENSIVE! Not only is the ride quite relaxing but its also more interesting than you would originally think to hear about the story of the sinking city.... one day it will be gone!

 Venice is such a beautiful place. I went to develop my art skills and draw the architecture there, in March 2010. I would 100% recommend going to Venice. Its like no other place in the world! 

The gondola's are quiet expensive around €85 but you can get 4 people in a gondola so if you're a family of friends and you can split the cost I would defiantly recommend it! It's a whole new way to see the city and how many other places can you experience this. 

In July 2014 I went back to Venice because I loved it so much. I could probably live there, the south islands are residential areas and are quiet and it's paradise to me. The weather was great and it didn't smell like I've heard some people worry about. I want to go back one February for the Masked Carnival/ Festival.

I went with my family on a trip to Italy and we rode a gondola down the grand canal. Probably my favorite  place in the world. 

I really really really liked it! Went there with my mum and dad, but we met really fun couple who agreed to ride with us. Random people sang to us from the bridge and you could really have a glance of  the "spirit of Italy". 

it was amazing 

and the man in the picture was so nice 

he took us to the Gondola  factory in told us all about it 

Amazing - Well worth the money which I thought at the time was very expensive.

 I have been to Venice twice. I loved it and would totally recommend the gondola. You can't fully experience Venice if you don't

On tour January 2014. The gondola driver said in 30 years he'd only fallen off once. He also tipped the boat so we all freaked out as if we were falling in for his amusement. Started to sing in Italian which made us giddy.

peaceful, unqiue, adventrous 

I rode in a gondola boat in Venice on Sunday, June 2, 2013.

 it's difficult not to fall in love with Venice..

 Venice Trip with Stevie :)

We sang songs on belarusian language  and different people was just shocked about it. In other words it was amazing!

I have been wanting to do this since I first read Inkheart and learned there was a place where the streets were water. I would go back in a heartbeat. 

It’s so exiting activities.  I was a little bit scared, especially on turns and also exited because of picturesque views.
