## What the experience does include

Every option centres on an approximately 30-minute gondola ride. Depending on the ticket you choose, the experience can also include:

- A 20-minute introduction to gondolas and gondoliers, except with the private option
- In-app commentary during the ride
- Live commentary and headphones
- The Gondola Gallery, with tools and a cross-section showing how gondolas are made
- A VR experience about centuries of Venetian history
- Wi-Fi at the meeting point for downloading the app
- A 30-minute private gondola when that option is selected
- A Ca’ Rezzonico ticket when that option is selected

Check the exact inclusions before booking because the combinations vary.

## Romantic does not mean serenaded

One ticket is named Romantic Canals Gondola & Dreamy Palace of Casanova’s Era, and another is called Fall in Love on the Grand Canal. Those names do not add a singer, serenade or prosecco.

Choose these tickets for their included features, rather than expecting a singer or prosecco.

## Commentary is not a musical performance

Some ticket choices include in-app commentary, while another inclusion is live commentary by the gondolier. Both are there to help you understand the route and the gondola experience. Neither means that a singer, serenade or musical performance is included.

Headphones can also be included with a commentary option. They are for listening to the tour content, not for a serenade.

## How to choose the right option

Read the inclusion list attached to the exact ticket you select. If a singer, serenade or prosecco is essential to your plans, this is not the right ticket to book on that assumption.

If your priority is having the gondola reserved for your group, choose the 30-minute private option. Private describes who shares the gondola; it does not add music or drinks. Compare the [shared and private choices](/shared-private-gondola-ride-venice/) before paying.

When you are ready to select an option, follow the [step-by-step booking guide](/book-gondola-ride-venice/).
