Five Stars for Sunset, Cold Drink and Waving Crowds - The people who have rated this trip a 1* review need to get over themselves. The sunset tour is beautifully timed to sail into the sun, with a super cold drink of choice and a few Italian nibbles freshly prepared (we saw them doing it as we arrived early for a beer). The trip is short and calm, sailing under bridges full of waving people and children, great atmosphere all round, with literally tonnes of pizza and wine choice when you get off. If you want designer shops and excessive prices and pampering go to Duomo Square. It’s all there waiting for you.

Rude staff (lady that checked the tickets), snack box not worth it. Waste of money. - The lady that checked to see if I made a booking was so rude. The food wasn't nice. There should be a 2nd drink instead of a snack box. Waste of money.

Never again - Very disappointing: the advertised aperitivo is a cardboard box that must be picked up at the counter in the street. The boat is overbooked and does not leave until the person in charge convinces 4 people who had their tickets to get off. The ride is poor, pretty at first, then very ugly in the suburbs

Scam - It's a tourist trap. You get one drink in a plastic cup and a box full of stale Italian leftovers. There is no audio guide or anything, stay away if you value your money or time.

Uncomfortable - The wine and snack box got the 1 star. We where the only 2 people on the boat, when the crew got on we where ignored, had to ask about the guide part…. It was extremely uncomfortable, so pretended my Mum felt unwell to get off early … had they spoken to us and offered a refund instead of begrudgingly taking us out , we would have accepted.
I have done this tour before and loved it .. loved it so much that I wanted to take my Mum on it ….

Stay away! - This was awful. In stead of drinks and food on the boat, you have to pick up your drink and a small box with something in it that didn’t look very nice. It was warm and we weren’t even sure if it was kept in a fridge beforehand. We had to wait in line after that with the box and the drinks in our hands. That was the limit. So we left. It was nothing like advertised or like in the other reviews. Stay far away is my advice.

Spend your time and money along the canal not on the boat - Tour: most boring tour. No guide or audio guide. You go straight up the canal for 15 min turn, go back, drive in a Bassin where you sit for 15 min before getting back.
All you see is easily walkable.
Apéro: you get one plastic cub with a drink to carry on the boat and a box with mini apéro.
Not worth it at all.
