An excellent adventure in nature - Giacomo came highly regarded and we were looking forward to our time on the water. We spent around 3 hours quietly moving around the Pillassa Baio by boat observing the wildlife up close. Giacomo was a very interesting and knowledgeable guide and opened our eyes to many species of bird. His boat was very stable and comfortable. And he provided some excellent binoculars and other viewing equipment - all top notch Leica models. An excellent tour.

Highlight of an Italian trip full of highlights. - My first day in Ravenna was spent on the water with Giacomo. He is a delightful and informative guide. I love his little boat and how the exotic birds ignored our presence. I was stunned when we came around a bend and saw the magnificent birds. The activities of humans along the waterways were fascinating. After seeing all the nets for catching eels, we were able to attend the Eel Festival. Just a great outing.

Fantastic bird watching trip - I went on this fantastic trip with my mum in her 70’s and my brother. Our day out with him in Marina Romeo was the highlight of our trip to Ravenna- it was such fun we spent the next day with Giacomo too on a guided walk We saw sooo many birds- including flamingoes, many waders, egrets, spoonbills and May more. Landscape was amazing. Boat very comfortable and Giacomo so knowledgeable. Was such fun for avid bird watchers like my Mum and novices like me, alike. Thank you and hope to come back.

Fantastic boat tour - This was an absolutely fabulous tour. Giacomo is an expert guide- very knowledgeable and friendly. You will tour on and off the boat. We saw flamingos, white and black swans, grey puffers, coumarins, kingfishers, herons, and leaping fish. It is off the typical tourist path but well worth the trip. I would recommend to anyone wanting to experience another side of Ravenna or who is interested in nature. The sunset is unforgettable, as is the experience.

The flamingoes are amazing but there is so much more! - Giacomo was so knowledgeable about more than just the birds, beautiful morning on the water and such an interesting place!

Wonderful Evening out on the Lagoon - A beautiful trip through the lagoon with, flamingos, swans and other waterfowl. Giacomo was the perfect guide, easygoing, knowledgable, and familiar with the flora, fauna, and local history. We would happily go out again with him.

Fun trip through the lagoon - Guacamole was a great guide for our trip. He knew both the birds and the history of the lagoon. It was a really fun and informative trip, made even better by the snacks and beverages he provided. We had never expected to see flamingos in this area, but there were hundreds of them. Highly recommend this excursion.

Fantastic Tour! - This tour was all I had hoped for. Who could ask for more… colorful oyster catchers, flicks of flamingoes, a rare turtle sighting, shell ducks, and more. Giacomo is a fantastic guide, He’s friendly, very knowledgeable, and he speaks perfect English. (Yet he was kind enough to speak slowly in Italian to me since I’m just learning the language). Take the time to take this tour!

Must do in Marina Romea - Our boat trip was interesting and exciting for the whole family. Our two boys ages 5 and 8 loved it, my husband loved it and I, a professional biologist, loved it. Giacomo was super knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife but also the history, culture and industry of the area. We spoke in both Italian and English without any problems. It was the highlight of our vacation. Also, no mosquitoes and plenty of flamingoes!
