Must do experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Must do tour! Our guide Sebastian was fantastic, very engaging and took the best photos! This was the perfect way to end our trip - highly recommend!

This tour is worth every penny to really experience Venice from the water.

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a wonderful day with Claudia! She managed to spend time with each of us (a group of 10) to be sure we had questions answered and were enjoying our experience. She managed a toddler and heavy rains with a smile. We learned so much and were able to explore the beautiful islands. The pickup from our hotel was wonderful and made our day so easy to navigat. I highly recommend this tour!

Elena is the best tour guide!
