We were greeted on time by Rachel at the location specified which was easily found due to the excellent directions and photographs given . We wanted to go to a specific location which Marco said was no problem and this made our trip all the more special to us . Rachel gave us an informative tour , pointing out landmarks and interesting facts about the different islands along the way . Rachel took lots of photographs so we can look back and remember the day . We were offered a beer on the boat for the journey back .We felt the trip was excellent and would definitely recommend to others .

This boat tour is AWESOME! It was the highlight of our short stay in Venice. We learned a ton about the other islands around Venice. Marco’s assistant Rachel is great, very friendly and has a lot of interesting knowledge. And the boat itself was spacious and seemed well cared for. It’s a nice break from the crowds in the city and a great way to see more of the surrounding islands. Definitely do this!!

It was a nice refreshing trip around the lagoon. Rachele met us at a specified point in the city and in 5 minutes we were on the boat. It was a nice motor boat that locals can usually use in daily life. It had comfortable seats, opening roof and a good view. We can stand and feel breeze, sun and light sparkles of water from occasional waves. Rachele told us about surrounding islands, and shared funny stories about them. She made a lot of nice photos of us she sent us later on. If you have newer sailed the lagoon out of usual vaporetto routes it’s a great overview trip you can take. Be careful, after that you may want to have your own boat! 😀
