I only had an afternoon to spend in Venice and I don’t think I could have had a better experience. Emiliano was a great guide and driver. The trip took us through the channel, the lake, and many many beautiful canals. We saw major landmarks and spent time in the areas locals live and favor. Only saw a gondola or two the entire trip. Bonus: seeing a Banksy art piece and driving through a film/TV set with filming in progress. Skip the crowded streets.

Alberto's tour was exactly what we needed on our first day in Venice. Despite both my 85 year old parents and us being seasoned Venice visitors (1st time for my 9 year old), we found the tour a perfect fit - Alberto expertly navigated us through a maze of small out-of-the-way canals for some lovely, crowd free peaceful experiences of the non-touristy parts of Venice (as well as the touristy bits too!). Having Prosecco on the boat in the morning as we cruised around was also a bit of cheeky fun! A great intro day to Venice

This was a very memorable experience with Ricardo. He was very knowledgeable and the boat was a relaxing way to see the quiet canals of the neighborhoods. Seeing this much of Venice by boat was truly amazing.Exceptional Experience

This tour was a real joy, going through the small backstreet canals. The driver/guide was knowledgeable and fun. It is a fabulous way to see Venice. More people need to know about this, so as not to miss it!Fantastic tour

Ok,
First I want to tell that the boattour and captain was very cool.
Now the important things and I know that you will delete this message and it’s a shame!
The Guy on the picture was not the captain??
I payed for a private tour for 2 persons and at 12.00 came the boat with the excuse that the other boat was broken so we went on the boat with another family. The other family where very kind, nothing against them but the deal was PRIVATE and than for the awkward moment the captain give us a half hour extra.
Back from the tour the captain had an issue with someone beside the water and as I am I followed that guy and ask him what the problem was.
Long story short, this app and your captains are like uber taxi’s, what you are doing as the official regristrated taxiboat-captain explained, is illegal and not official!
The second thing that bothers me is that I asked in the message when I’ve booked is to see everything that must see in Venice. Result, whe didn’t because as I heard from the real taxi boat guy, you are not allowed for boating inside venice, only outside the city.
The most important is that we payed the double of money than with an official taxi.
So Here is my question, why could you Guys make an app an suscribe that you are qualifyd if I heard the real story and you killing the official taxidrivers who has to pay taxes and other costs for there firm?
I’m really disapounted the way you work, the concept that your trying is good.

We greatly enjoyed this small group experience. There were just 6 of us, and we explored some of the less traveled canals and neighborhoods of the less traveled and "Real" Venice! The boat was quiet and comfortable, but bring a hat or umbrella for shade cover as the boat itself is uncovered. Water was provided as desired. Explore The Real Venice!
