    Lovely morning tour of the city!

    Jennifer_W, Jun 2025
    We had a wonderful morning secret canals tour. Our guide was very friendly, pleasant, and full of information about the history of Venice. We covered so much of the city that would have taken hours by foot. We chose a morning departure to avoid the heat of the day. Because of this we got to see a lot of the way of life for locals, such as garbage boats, firetrucks, ups boats, etc out on the water doing their work. Kids ages 17, 15, 9 had a lovely time. We were offered bottles of water. It was a great tour!

    Beautiful experience, highly recommended

    Beautiful boat tour that allows you to cross all the sestieri of Venice. Special mention for our guide Riccardo who showed us the city from a different perspective, telling us historical anecdotes and curiosities. The whole family really enjoyed the tour. Recommended!
