Poor service

Burnie_S, Jun 2026

They tried to change our time and due to time restrictions, we could not change times. The company sent us an email saying they could accommodate us for the time. When we arrived to get our tickets for the gondola ride, they explained that we did not have reservation for the evening. Called Viator and they cancelled and refunded our money. I definitely would research every company because they are not all good companies to book your trip with. This company was I definitely would not recommend and please take my advise and do not book with them.

It was okay

Jacklyn_G, May 2026

The length of the trip could be a bit longer. The driver did not speak to us. It would have been nice to know what we were looking at. The only communication was the drivers shouting back and fourth to each other on the water. It was not the relaxing gondola ride that we all dream about. Apart from what I stated, it was worth the experience.
