we had so much fun on this tour. it was the best way to tour venice, by far! I'm so glad we did this, I hope we'll be back someday.
A spectacular way to see the lagoon and a few of the islands around Venice! Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience, very competent and kind skipper. He guided us, telling us about the history of Venice. Super recommended!
We had a wonderful day! Riccardo was very kind and helpful, he immediately put us at ease. The experience was fun and relaxing, everything organized to perfection. We look forward to returning!
I can’t describe how fantastic this was - thank you so much Riccardo! Despite booking last minute on the day before, smooth communication via WhatsApp on meet up details and actual meet up. His boat is super clean and fun, and he tells you all about the history and info of whatever we can see from the boat (thank you for English communication😭）. We visited three islands, Murano, Burano and Torcello for a duration of 3〜3.5hours - all locations were wonderful and I even had time to watch live glass demonstration! Well worth the price and I cannot recommend him enough!!
Excellent way to see Venice and surrounding areas. The guide knows how to navigate the area, so you can see all the sites and explains what you are seeing. Our teens loved it!
It was fantastic we would do it again the guide was great we went to 3 different islands and it was well worth the money
My husband and I only had a couple days in Venice and wanted to see as much of the area as possible. Definitely not enough time to see Venice properly, but got a wonderful overview. We are so glad we booked with Riccardo! Maria Luisa was the interpreter and was very knowledgeable of the history of the islands. The boat is beautiful, Riccardo is a skilled skipper, and we were able to see things other tours might miss. They exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!
An overall wonderful experience. The team were very friendly and interesting. A fantastic way to avoid the crowds and enjoy the scenery. Murano glass making was facinating and too many choices of lovely things to buy. We also stopped at Burano and Torcello. We felt it was value for money and they looked after us every step of the way :-) Highly recommended.
We spent an afternoon with Riccardo and his wonderful boat. We were taken to unique places that, visited by a private boat have a whole other charm. Riccardo also realized my dream of landing in San Francesco del Deserto, a truly dream place. Highly recommended!
