      Relaxing while cruising the sights
      Jolie_H, May 2024
      Lovely and relaxing ride through many back canals. Got to see so many areas that we would have missed on foot. Our captain was delightful as well.
      A Great Way To Tour Venice
      Lewis_S, Apr 2024
      The title of this trip is totally accurate. We're still wondering how Giovanni is able to navigate all the canals - some not much wider than his boat. It was a great way to see and learn about Venice.
      Well worth doing
      Simon_M, Apr 2024
      We had a wonderful time! Daniele provided an informative tour allowing us to take it all in without bombarding us with historic facts. Venice is a beautiful city, but truly magical from the water. This tour will prove unforgettable. Thank you.
      Good, but not up to expectations.
      Guy_G, Apr 2024
      Not really hidden, more a cruise through smaller canals. Limited commentary on the trip, though questions answered. Boat was good.
      Beautiful ride even on a VERY busy day
      Jerry_L, Apr 2024
      A great guide and driver, Giovanni. Venice was VERY crowded & busy on this weekend day, and the day before a Papal visit. Giovanni was excellent finding some quiet and calm canals with beautiful sights. He was very knowledgeable and professional.
      Highly Recommend
      Leslie_M, Apr 2024
      Wonderful tour and Alberto was timely, knowledgeable and a pleasure! Highly recommend this tour as our favorite tour in Venice!
      Don't miss this experience!
      Helen_R, Apr 2024
      We have been to Venice a few times and this was the best experience we have ever done. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable, and we saw lots of different parts of Venice we have never seen before. The only disappointment of the day was when the tour ended - we could have stayed on board all day!
      The best!
      Jasmine_V, Apr 2024
      This was the most fantastic tour. Emiliano, our guide was so kind and knowledgeable. We were only in Venice for a short time and wanted to make sure we had a great experience, this exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed it so much, we will be booking it again for family who are visiting Venice at another date. I couldn’t recommend it enough.
      Doing this will complete your trip
      Susan_F, Apr 2024
      This was an excellent experience with a personable and knowledgeable driver. Journey through canals not commonly seen by tourists. Electric boat was quieter and designed to be better for preserving the architecture you pass by. Loved this tour!
      Private tour around the canals
      Karra_S, Apr 2024
      Wonderful tour! Emilio was very informative and provided us with lots of beautiful places to see and learn about!!!
      Perfetto!
      Daun_F, Mar 2024
      Daniel, our captain, and his electric boat were a perfect ending to our trip to Venice. He balanced humor, Venetian pride and important historical context. It is true what people say: one cannot experience the FULL beauty of Venice from land. One needs the experience from the water vantage point and this craft provides it in spades. Do yourself a favor and take Daniel’s boat with a friend, some Prosecco and some snacks. And be sure to get his restaurant recommendations. It was the best sea bass I had in Italy!!!
      A beautiful and informative trip
      Glenda_P, Mar 2024
      This was a perfectly timed boat tour. It is a great way to see Venice overall. The tour guide was friendly and knew a lot of interesting facts. It was fun to get out on a boat, we were able to travel on canals and in the bigger water/lagoon sounding Venice. Thank you.
      Disappointed
      Christine_S, Mar 2024
      Trip was canceled by the tour operator after it had been confirmed and paid for. We were very disappointed.
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Dear Christine, I’m very sorry you didn’t get to enjoy our tour and we understand your frustration. Although we are never happy to cancel a tour, there can be weather circumstances that we can’t control nor ignore. Your safety comes first to us, so if it’s too windy or the weather is not good, we won’t carry out the tour. It’s also fair to say that we offered you to reschedule the tour the day after and you declined, and the refund of your payment was provided promptly.
      Peaceful Ride
      Pamela_W, Feb 2024
      Nice, peaceful tour through the hidden spots! Really loved seeing the bookstore, hearing about the different islands. Our guide took time to be sure we got the photos we wanted and eagerly answered all our questions.
      Too cold to appreciate.
      Courtney_M, Jan 2024
      It was an incredible tour of Venice canals, and the electric boat is great. However, it was so cold, it was hard to enjoy. We would have appreciated any effort to make it warmer. Thicker blankets, hand warmers, hot chocolate. It was a bummer that it was cold, because it could have been really cool.
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Dear Courtney, I appreciate your feedback, January is indeed the coldest time of the year in Venice and although I'm sorry you didn't get to fully enjoy our tour, It's also fair to say that we do provide blankets and hot drinks on board. The tour and the type of boat we use is widely advertised on our account, so perhaps whoever decides to book a tour during winter should make sure they are properly dressed and happy to be on the boat with low temperatures.
      Relaxing boat ride through the canals of Venice
      Brianfregeau, Nov 2023
      Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. He was right on time (early actually) and had blankets and water for us (it’s a bit cooler in November than July). The boat was nice and quiet and we got to see parts of Venice we never would have trekked to. The boat ride was closer to 1 hour than 1.5, but we saw everything we wanted to. Highly recommend.
      Great
      THOMAS_L, Nov 2023
      Sunset over the Laguna and Banksey mural. Generally the whole trip was a highlight! Guide was very informative and friendly.
      Unique way to see Venice
      Lindsey_L, Nov 2023
      I booked this as a special experience for my 7 year old son. He loved it. Very unique and private boat tour around Venice. We will do it again in summer for sure.
      Giovanni was fantastic. ...
      Crystal_H, Nov 2023
      Giovanni was fantastic. Was a little nervous at first since the meet up location looked empty and there was not a lot of pedestrians or foot traffic in that area, but Giovanni was waiting by the boat when we came back! He was a great host, very informative and kept the conversation going, politely answered all our questions and we saw so many things we wouldn't have by just walking around. We are so glad we chose this activity instead of a gondola ride!
      Silent e-boat made the Views of Venice more special!
      Mike_m, Oct 2023
      Great experience and amazing guide! No better perspective of Venice than from the grand canal, side channels and the main waterway passing st Mark’s square! Magic on a e-boat! And no gas smells, exhaust or load motor! Pure bliss!
