🇮🇹 Venice Gondola Hack: Meet Uncle Polo—The BEST Gondolier! 🛶✨

🌟 Why He’s the GOAT: 📍 Location: St. Mark’s Square (look for him near Photo 5 spot!). 💰 Deal: Night rides usually €165 (small loop), but he offered €150 for BIG loop (normally €200+!). ⏳ 45 mins (!): Cruised under multiple bridges (tricky at high tide!) + fun commentary. 💧 The Water is DISGUSTING! Raw sewage flows into canals (yes, it’s basically toilet water 🚽💦). Saw a tourist SIP it 🤢 Cue instant regret! 🌧️ Weather Woes My trip was all rain & gloom—still pretty, but sunshine = next-level magic. 🍦 Bonus Tips: Suso Gelato: Must-try yogurt flavor! Souvenirs: Check out local shops for cute Venetian trinkets. #VeniceSecrets #GondolaKing #TravelSmart
