Wonderful evening boat trip
This was a wonderful trip and the best way to see Venice. Our captain was so friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole trip fun and educational. It was a lovely addition to have a glass of Prosecco as we meandered through the canals. I would highly recommend this trip.

Wonderful way to see Venice!
Our captain Emiliano was great! Very knowledgeable. Seeing Venice by private boat tour was amazing. Would highly recommend!
Note: Only able bodied, avoid if mobility issues, the on-boarding is difficult. The City of Venice is walking or boats, only. The Piazelle Roma is closest place to catch taxi, bus or Uber.

Amazing experience
The best decision we made on this trip!!! Soroush showed us things we would have never found on our own. He was friendly, knowledgeable, gave us interesting information and felt more like an old friend showing us his city vs a stranger we hired. He even showed us a great place for dinner. Cannot say enough nice things about our experience. 100/10 would book again!!

Mikaela was a wonderful...
Mikaela was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable about the area and the specific sites we visited. We spent the right amount of time at both Murano and Burano and the boat rides to and from were enjoyable as well. Would definitely recommend her as a guide.

Beautiful tour! The boat...
Beautiful tour! The boat tour was perfect. The bakery is amazing. Loved the glassblowing demo and 50% at their shop.
We also had time to stop for espresso in Murano and for Chicetti on the water in Burano. The tour guide Allegra gave a great suggestion about where to go.
In March it was warm in the morning and then a bit cool on the water. Make sure you wear jackets on cooler days.

Great experience!
Luca was an amazing tour guide. He explained so much of the way Venice is laid out, the properties of the canals, high and low tides and most of all, its apparent that he has an amazing command of his boat on these waters. A lesser captain would have caused us to get wet; however, Luca skillfully navigated every swell, wake, and shift with ease. Highly, highly recommended!

The guide Syria was fantastic! She talked about life in Venice, growing up here, challenges, history and future.
This is the second time we have been to Murano Glass but first time guided was so much better! We learned a great deal. All handmade glass is exquisite and purchased some lovely items for our home and daily use.

St. Mark's Basilica Tour and Gondola Ride
Our tour guide, Iola, was very knowledgeable about the history of St. Mark's Basilica and the symbolism of the ceiling and floor mosaics in the church. Our gondola ride down a small canal was fun and Thomas, our gondolier, was pleasant and he piloted the gondola well.

An absolute must, with best tour guide.
This was an excellent tour. An absolute must whilst in Venice. Great value for money. What made it most special was our tour guide Giovanni, he was knowledgable, polite and went over and above what was expected. Definitely bring cash and negotiate in the factory, the glassware is stunning.

Book it! You will enjoy it.
Our guide, Giovanni was exceptional. He is very knowledgeable and has a fun personality. It is so peaceful to leave the crowds of Venice and experience the city from the water. Giovanni took us to parts of Venice we would not have seen on foot. Very fun and worthwhile experience. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic Experience
Awesome experience all around. Great communication, friendly staff, good music and fantastic views of the Venice sunset. We would definitely do this again and highly recommend for other visitors. Also, the restaurant that was our meeting place (La Nuovo Perla) was amazing. We went into the meal not expecting much and were blown away.

Highlight of our trip
My husband and I were in town for a few days and knew we would have serious jet lag. We booked this the day after we arrived and it was so relaxing. The staff was very attentive. The drinks were great and it was very scenic. If I did not have to leave, I would do it again today. Well worth it!!
