Just like to confirm that is Venice, and also to say that it's 80 euro a punt these days, (Jun 2018, i'm not bitter)
The Gondoliers there think they are rock stars, but they are infact just grossly overdressed taxi drivers with delusions of grandeur ,working in an area where they have nothing but contempt for tourists.
They do not like to be reminded of the old cornetto ad either, as they think that it is demeaning to their profession, and i don't think any of them can sing anyway tbh.
Needless to say i never got on a gondola.
