Wonderful gem experience - must in Venice! - 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!!

Private boat tour! Excellent choice - 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!

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!
