Great boat ride around Venice - Returning to the surroundings of Venice by very good sea, we went with a friend and the boat was inexplicably quite empty. Giorgia, the guide, knows a lot about Venetian art and the city was very friendly and attentive at all times. Recommended!

Value - It was a good, short ride with the kids. It is was informative, while getting to see the South part of Venice. I didn't have any expectations, which made it a little more enjoyable. If you want a ride to see the different islands, this is not the ride for you. The staff were pleasant.

A day in the open air in the lagura of Venice - We had this experience starting at 12 noon from a pier near the Station of St. Lucia and returned at 19.00. We crossed the Giudecca canal and it was very interesting the explanation that the guide provided in different languages. Apart from the stops to collect customers almost everywhere, we finally headed to the island of Murano - at a furnace that held a free presentation of the glass art with its spontaneous purchase by the defendants. Appointment for the departure at 15.30 after lunch at the local restaurants and visit to the island. The departure for Torcello followed and the stop lasted just over an hour. During the journeys, the guide explained what could be done and/or seen, giving historical information about the locations. In Burano we arrived almost at dusk but, in my opinion, it deserved a greater stop and with the sun. Here too, we were teleported to a lace shop for possible purchases. You know, advertising is the soul of Commerce! Anyway a good day outdoors, visiting with the help of the company three beautiful islets. The unfortunate thing, if you do not notice immediately, is where the tour ends that does not take you back to Saint Lucia but leaves you in St. Mark's. For those who know Venice, they know that the distance is really a lot. If you want to be taken back to where the tour started, you have to pay € 7.50 per person, plus the cost of the tour. We paid the difference and at 7.30pm we finally got off the boat.

complete waste of money - there was no tent or flag or uniform to identify the tour in this very busy dock. the tour itself was outside the interesting parts of venice. the young lady narrating the tour spoke very fast in a heavy accent which made it difficult to understand.
