An absolutely amazing experience. - Listen to me. This was an incredibly fun experience. Marco is a gem. The Proseco flows. The boat is unlike any other. It’s much more intimate than the giant tour boats you see in the canals and lagoons. It’s like you’re transported back to a simpler time. You can reach over the side of the boat and touch the water. You can stand up and hold onto the mast. It’s special. You’ll go places you wouldn’t expect. Marco took us to a Sicialian pizza stand on a remote island. He bargained for more Proseco and asked to make sure it was cold. The guy is like a pirate captain with Prada sunglasses. He’s Anthony Bourdain as a boat captain. This was an amazing experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful Sunset Cruise with Wonderful Captain - This boat ride was the highlight of our time in Venice. Our captain arrived a bit late, but more than made up for it with a bit of an extended tour and lots of Prosecco! The meeting point was a bit difficult to find as the building number provided was not the exact spot; however, the captain called to confirm the meeting point (The small bar in front of the hotel Experimental). We were able to see so many parts of Venice that we had missed by just walking on foot. Be prepared for a few splashes as you cross the larger canals and head into the ocean, but they were welcome in the summer heat! We would highly recommend this tour, just contact the Captain a day or 2 in advance to verify the time and meeting point.

Amazing boat tour experience - Marco was very personable , knowledgeable, and entertaining. My husband and I had the boat to ourselves and had a delightful tour of the lagoon and other islands away from the main, busy tourist area. The Prosecco was great and he made a surprise stop and got us some delicious appetizers. The ride was 2 hours and the views were incredible. We were in Italy almost 3 weeks and this was one of our favorite tours. You will not be disappointed if you book this trip.

Marco's a Legend - Brilliant experience with Marco and his boat, such a gentleman with so much knowledge,and he's a proper laugh! A beautiful way to see the city by water with the sunset over the Doge's Palace being exceptional.
We thoroughly enjoyed it, a highlight of our visit to the city.
Highly recommend this tour.

More than promised. - We wanted to go out on the water! We wanted a local experience. Delivered and awesome! Our guide and driver grew up locally and knows the locals, he offered to take us to his favorite pizza maker. Delicioso! What a fun time.

A cool experience with great views - The boat ride took us through the canal and around the lagoon to a bunch of different locations. Our guide Marco was friendly and a little eccentric. First, the negatives are that it was very hard to hear our guide when he talked to us due to him being in the back of the boat and the motor running. We also got a little wet sitting on the front from the water splashing, it was a windy day though. The positives were that we got to see different views of venice you don't normally see, as well as a taste of some local pizza that our guide threw in for free. Since it is at sunset, we got some stunning and our best photos of venice throughout our time there.

It was worth it - A wonderful evening away from the many people and
the crowds in
Venice. Marco was an attentive and entertaining captain.
Unfortunately, the weather did not quite play with...

Still waiting for refund - We booked it same day, however there was an unexpected storm coming at the time of the tour. We decided to cancel by discussing with the tour operator, Marco. Marco assured us he would contact Viator to issue a refund, however that hasn't happened and Marco has not been responding to our messages.
