Awesome Boat and Experience!

Brandon_F, Jul 2025

This was an amazing experience on a beautiful boat!! Worth it, 100%! There is no better way to see all that Venice has to offer along with its other islands without going out into the Lagoon. This experience was the highlight of our Venice trip, there is nothing like a Riva and these beautiful Italian islands!! Perfecto!!!

We booked this tour last...

We booked this tour last minute and couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. I had been to Venice once before, but this excursion felt like the first time we actually saw Venice. We are always a bit hesitant traveling with two young children and my older father-in-law, but this outing was perfect for all ages. The literary offered beautiful vistas, incredible experiences, and a chance to sample delicious local dishes. The boat was beautiful and the captain was very skilled and constantly looked after our comfort. The real prize however was our guide, Luca. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel, he was professional and engaging. By the time we got on the boat, it felt more like spending the day on the water with a friend, than with a tour guide. Luca had very interesting insights, was great with the kids, and really took time to make sure we got to see and learn everything that we wanted to. The glass factory on Murano engaged the children in activities while we were able to peruse the gallery at our leisure. Learning the traditions on Burano and enjoying a well earned meal was perfect pacing across our journey. We were fortunate to have a clear day, where the Dolomites provided a picturesque backdrop for each island as we passed. Luca was a wonderful guide, host, and ambassador for the city of Venice. I can’t recommend enough, just a wonderful day that will carry on as a lifetime of memories!
