Gondola rowing lessons in Venice

We are going on the My Way Italy on May 6. Heard that gondola rowing lessons were a lot of fun. Researched Row Venice...very accomplished women. We were wondering if any one has had the opportunity to parttake in this activity , if so is it better, more fun with 2 or 4 people and daytime or evening?

My husband and I did Row Venice in Sept 2016. What a fun experience! We did the cichetti session, late afternoon, which included rowing up to a couple of bars and having snacks. We went to some places out of the way to do this, which added to the usual experience. With only two people, we each got in a lot of rowing time, which I think would be more difficult with 4 people, particularly if you do the cichetti session. We also got to row on the Grand Canal, which was unforgettable. You will absolutely enjoy this experience and it will be a highlight of your trip.
