I booked a Gondola Ride with Serenade and dinner and it was fabulous. The gondola ride was quick-maybe a 20 minute ride? The guy who serenaded made sure to rotate to each boat so that everyone was able to hear him and he sang loud enough that even when he was not close by you could hear him. It was nice to cruise down the smaller canals also. It was a nice experience and the dinner was delicious. It was a little difficult finding the restaurant, it is about a 10-15 min walk from the gondolas but it was nice and somewhat romantic to be eating with the locals and not all the tourist. This is definitely worth purchasing and experiencing!!
