Amazing! - The Venice boat tour was amazing, informational and relaxing! The houses and yachts were breathtaking as the air on the water! So beautiful and inviting! The guides were knowledgeable, humorous and made the tour enjoyable and we appreciated the free drinks! My husband enjoyed the start to his birthday weekend. Thank you!

choppy start to fun outing - Staff were great but was expecting a larger vessel, capacity off this one was around 30? We went on a very windy day and the signage may have been blown away and we were confused re the boarding location- spent a lot of time walking around looking for it. Drinks basic & mediocre but all in all enjoyed the experience & staff very good

Worst boat tour ever - The boat was not the boat as in the Viator picture. It was a small old boat with no A/C. The soda drinks provided were unknown brand and tasted awful. There was no parking near the dock, which was at a dead-end street. We do not recommend this tour to anybody.

Third party booking with this company is an issue - Be very careful, this is my second experience where the location was unclear…there was two different addresses neither of which our uber driver could decipher. We lost the experience and paid considerable uber fees to no avail.
