re: Is gondola ride at Venice worth it?

Wife and I went to venice before children and did not do it. Regretted it for 17 years until we took our children with us in 2014. It was an enjoyable experience. It didn't look anything like the photograph posted. We were the only ones in the canal 3 days after mardi gras day. I want to say we paid 80 euros for all 4 of us and it lasted about 35 minutes. Don't need to do it again but glad we did.
