This lesson was so much fun! What better way to experience a gondola ride than to row one yourself! Jane was an excellent teacher, very enthusiastic, and a wonderful person to visit with for the afternoon while we were rowing. Had a great time! More

Our booking for Row Venice was last minute although Jayne very kindly arranged a session with Felix who seems to have mastered the art of controlling a Gondola and sharing his passion with others .... Like anything new we started off with a basic lesson, although within about 5 mins the kids aged 9 and 10 had picked up the... More

We were a party of four with a teenager and took a two hour lesson from Row Venice. Jane Caporal was the person I communicated with and she gave clear instructions on where we should meet. On the day we arrived at the marina Jane introduced us to our instructor, Eleanor, a competitive gondola rower whose mother is a champion... More

Jane was an amazing and patient teacher. Well worth the price: She took my husband and seven-year old along for the ride, while my two teens and I learned to paddle throughout the canals of Venice, even the Grand Canal!! Not only does she give you rowing lessons, but tells Venetian history during your 2-hour lesson. The price was just... More

We had a lovely time learning to row with Jane. The weather was perfect and she's a patient teacher. It was a unique and fun experience and if you're thinking of doing one of those cheesy gondola rides, I'd recommend you do this instead! More

My husband and I took rowing lessons with Jane our first morning in Venice, and it remained my favorite thing we did in Venice. Rowing the Venetian way was a blast and challenging! Jane is a fantastic teacher and very patient with these silly Texans who kept turning themselves in circles in the lagoon. This was a great, unique way... More

I dicovered how to row and steer a gondola. Thanks to Jane, in three days I could even row in the Grand Canal ! I could discover Venise in the most authentic way with a perfect teacher and city guide : Jane Capo. I recommend training in the Arsenal, in a place only accessible to our boats where on can... More

Never before thought too much about rowing a gondola type of boat and the skills required to navigate through the canals...safely! Quite an enlightening experience! But I would also say that the highlight of this activity is rowing peacefully in the middle of the lagoon away from the hustle and bustle of the city. More

I was initially bored by Venice and the touristy streets and although i was living in the community area (Canneregio), it was Winter and people were hardly on the streets much. Then we discovered this rowing activity and i must say it is the saving grace of my experience in Venice and made me fall in love with the canals,... More
