Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went down to Melbourne on our 6 year anniversary and we wanted to do something unique and magical and that's what we got with Venice on the Yarra. Got the romance package and we were both woowed with the amazing scenic views and quient ambience. Your guide was very knowledgeable with Melbourne's history and definitely made our gondola ride that much better. Was an amazing experience

My husband surprised me for Valentines Day and we had such a great time. I highly recommend if you want to do something different and to get in the good books with your partner. Thank you Darcy who took us, he was great. Make sure you do it!!

Very romantic and calming experience. The ambience was really nice - champagne, calm music. And Darcy was highly knowledgeable and made the journey that much more pleasant. Would recommend!!

The venice on the yarra tour was amazing. The tour guide Darcy was very relaxed and professional. Gave us a lot of interesting information on the area and even some recomendations of where to go for dinner. A really enjoyable and romantic experience. 10/10.

If your looking for something unique, memorable and romantic, you cannot go past Venice on the Yarra. We received end to end quality service from the time I made the enquiry to the time we finished our cruise. Paul was extremely responsive, happy to help and was very informative on the best time/day to go. Booking was easy and hassle free. The long stemmed roses were beautiful and the champayne - simply delicious! I felt very spoilt. The actual Gondola was plush and very comfortable. Our gondolist Darcy was very knowledgeable and took lots of photo's to capture our magical experience. Thank you Venice on the Yarra. We loved it and will be back on our anniversary.

Do not recommend to anyone! We tried to book this gondola cruise over 2 weeks before the actual date, no one would respond to any of the multiple emails sent. I emailed them via Facebook to be told to call a certain number to make a booking which we did only to be told that we need to email through our booking (talk about stuffing us around as we had many times) then we finally get a response after the fifth email sent to them and was now a week after we had sent the first one, saying they would call us to organise it. When we received the call they tried extremely hard for us to change our set date to the following night saying it would be better, even thought we had mentioned a few times we wanted the Sunday as it was for my birthday. They then said they will get back to us to see if someone else on the Sunday night would change dates as apparently they are now fully booked (stuffing us around again) we then get a text stating it’s fine we can do 9pm on Sunday night, it’s all booked in. We think great finally it’s all sorted! But no wait we then get a call on the actual Sunday morning of the date we had booked saying that they may have to cancel it due to the weather. So disappointing as we have already been stuffed around so many times before. We finally get a call back from Paul at 5pm saying they are cancelling our booking because it’s ‘too’ windy! What a complete joke of a company! Stuffed us around way too many times, when clearly if they were booked up they should really have let us know this two weeks before when we originally tried to book so that we could find another activity to do. So of course we didn’t have time now to organise another thing to do for my birthday so we were left upset and disappointed!! No way to run a business and I doubt they will be around for much longer when they treat there customers like this!! Disgusting customer service!

I was hoping to book this service as a romantic part of my wife's birthday night out.
I contacted the company via their website to make an enquiry which was duly ignored. With 5 days to go until the birthday ,I called Venice on the Yarra to follow up. The conversation was noncommittal and unhelpful as I was told the gentleman (Paul) was coincidentally just looking over my week old email there and then, but couldn't guarantee me a booking. He reassured me he would call me back by the end of the day and give me an answer either way.
No call. When I called, no answer. No response to my voicemails over the weekend or Monday. Then today, I finally get through and am told NOPE no bookings. This is information I could have used 5 days ago.
Paul said he apologised 'IF' he said he would call me back but didn't recall saying that. There really was no apology or understanding of my situation. It seemed more like my attempt at booking this service was an annoyance to him. Very disappointed in this company's customer service.
