Donnato the Captain was very friendly and took great care of us in the extreme heat! There is no shade on the boat however we were equipped with parasols so if it’s very hot keep that in mind. The route was fun and the Captain gave us a little running commentary.
Excellent experience during the heat of the summer, the way to see the local Venician neighborhoods, daily life, and iconic sites along the main canal. Venice without breaking a sweat during the heat wave. Prompt boat arrival to meeting point. Good size boat, small enough for smooth ride on side canals, large enough to handle wake in grand canal. Offered beverages throughout. Even took photos of our group and maneuvering boat for best view. Very safe, courteous, knowledgeable driver. Darletto, I apologize on spelling/pronunciation, was his name. Thank you
We absolutely loved this trip! We even got a longer ride than planned, and they showed and explained all the best sights to us. We also really enjoyed the delicious snacks they treated us to. We came away with so many wonderful photos and unforgettable memories from this ride. Everything was simply gorgeous!
Emilio was a wonderful boat driver, personable, relaxed and made the experience absolutely enjoyable.
The tour was great and our guide was fantastic and we really enjoyed the 90 mins tour. We took some drinks onboard and it was lovely at 8pm. We followed Google maps to the meeting point and when we arrived wasn’t sure we were in the correct place as no one was waiting or even a sign. We did see someone eventually get in an electric boat and had to ask.
Great tour, but because they do not have a storefront your meet up point is a little obscure. Don’t be afraid to arrive five minutes early and have them roll up on time. Great tour and very knowledgeable.
Sebastiano was very knowledgeable but also very relaxed. We saw Venise better that way and electric is quiet yet efficient.
Great experience with our boat captain, Sebastian! Very professional, polite, friendly, and a wealth of knowledge on the local area. Fantastic experience on a quiet boat on a quiet evening!
The prior reviews have some truth to them but some are overblown. You start the tour in a quiet canal and then spend about 5 or so minutes on the main waterway to get to the next small canal. I’d say the next 30-40 minutes you are touring all the neighborhoods on calm canals. The final 10-20 you are on the main waterway again. It was this part that was a little frustrating because my wife did get a little wet at the front of the boat. Enough to make it uncomfortable. Would have preferred they said sit father back. There were 7 guests as well since we combined with another family but there was room for all.
Dear Daniel, thank you for your booking and for the review. I am sorry to hear that you get a little bit wet during the trip, hope you can undertand as this is a boating experience and even if we do our best to prevent it, might happen that due to some external factor the water get a bit more choppy. Regarding the tour, indeed, while the tour is designed to focus on the hidden canals we would also have to cross some open water to reach some other area of the city, this to see and discover the whole city districts and their different canals, including passing in front of the San Marco, San Giorgio, Punta della Dogana, Redentore and some of other main sights that are only visibile from the bigger canal. Thank you for your booking and hope to have you onboard again soon.
The size of the boat gives great comfort, whilst still giving access to the smallest canals & obviously very quiet as it is electric. The knowledge & experience of the guide ( Captain ) was superb & genuinely enthusiastic for his home of Venice, I feel the price was very good, especially compared to other boat trips.
