Highly Recommend! - 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!

Unforgettable Venice - 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.

Navigating in beauty - 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!

An excellent way to explore the Islands surrounding Venice - Riccardo and his colleague were excellent. Our family of 5 boarded their clean, well-maintained boat and Riccardo guided us through the open waters to the Islands of Torcello, Burano (where we stopped for lunch) and Murano before returning to Venice... a very nice 3 hour journey.

A unique experience - Beautiful boat ride of almost half a day accompanied by the very reliable Riccardo. You will be able to see places difficult to visit and unique views of the lagoon. Un’esperienza da non perdere!

Capitan Riccardo is super top!!! - Wonderful day trip with Capitan Riccardo, a native Venetian, who knows very well all the routes, islands, the names of every monument or place through the paradisiac Venice islands. The boat is really spacious. We were 6 and have plenty space to lay down comfortable. We really enjoyed!!

Best private tour on motor boat - This was our best trip to Venice. Riccardo was a very safe captain and wonderful tour guide. He showed us Venice as a true Venetian. I loved being away from the crowds and experience the ancient city from a new point of view, from the lagoon. The tour covered a view of all the islands before we stopped at a less traveled island for lunch. I loved our walk at the Burano island for shopping as much as the views of the main island. It gave me a broader understanding of both Venice’s history and its current affairs. In June, the weather was just perfect and as a treat, he stopped at lower waters for us to take a swim. I highly recommend!
