Take a romantic evening cruise along Venice's canals aboard a modern Venetian boat. This evening tour by comfortable boat takes you along Venice's famous Grand Canal, and allows you to explore further than a traditional Venice gondola allows. You can choose to speed along for one or two hours with your very own boat and personal guide.

The tour was and boat were nice but we had issues finding our meeting location. Viator had listed two meeting locations and our location tour guide had a third meeting location so we had a late and unfortunate start to our trip as it was frustrating and changed the energy of our experience. They did provide 15 minutes at the end to help rectify but it was not the full luxury experience I had hoped for.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was nice. My suggestion would be to have a separate (uncrowded meeting place). One of the biggest problems is that their meeting place was significantly crowded. It is difficult to find and once you find the place, there were 2 separate windows bearing the company name who had no idea what tour we were on and could not help with the Viator Voucher? After going back and forth in lines for almost an hour and tour guide "popped up out of nowhere" in the crowded area saying we're ready to go. This could have all been avoided with more clarification and a less crowded meeting place. After we met, the tour was good.

What a great way to see Venice, the Grand Canal and other points of interest in Venice! Our tour guide lady was awesome, so so nice, fun to talk too, her knowledge and history of Venice was great and endless! What a great way to see Venice by water taxi, private is the way to go. A little expensive it is, but a great way to go if you can! I enjoyed the tour from beginning to end! Thanks to our tour guide, she was great!

Our tour guide and boat captain were both excellent. Both had great personalities and both are locals who are very knowledgeable about the area. You’ll see much more on this boat than you would on a gondola. I highly recommend!

Outstanding tour!! Our guide, Giulia, was AMAZING!! HER knowledge of the history and cultural elements of Venice were well communicated. The boat was very comfortable, clean, and very nice. We would tour with both Giulia and our driver again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! She also gave us a terrific dinner recommendation. Ask her!!
One note: there can be some confusion with the voucher redemption process. Use the booth to the left of the ferry dock, not the one on the dock. Be sure to reinforce that your tour is private!!!!!

We cancelled this tour, but somehow the tour company managed to still charge us! It's very bad, as the price for this 'trip' is $580 for 1 hour, yet the price for a private 5 hour boat in Venice is $610!
No one would ever book this tour for that kind of money.
We are hoping to get a full refund given we cancelled it, and never went on the tour
Buyer beware- do NOT even think about booking this tour.

Lara was a great tour guide. Punctual and kind. The boat and captain were perfect, private, and clean. The evening started great with good weather. We chose to even disembark in an area near Nick’s Gelatorria which has some of the best gelato on the isle. However, a storm came in fast and the rest of the tour was quite rushed. It wasn’t the fault of Lara or the company. My daughter really couldn’t hear anything Lara was saying, especially with the loud boat engine. A com system that most tour ciompanies use would have been more helpful. Anyway, a great evening overall as dusk approached this beautiful city. But I only gave 3 stars because we were simply left wanting at the end. Not great value at nearly $800 USD for what we experienced. But a solid 3-4 stars and probably would have been 4-5 if weather held great. Thanks Lara for the experience, and seriously consider a coms unit for guests in the boat so everything can be heard clearly no matter wear we are sitting.

Spectacular way to see Venice for the first time. We took this tour our first evening here and were treated to gorgeous views of the city’s vast grandeur and elegance, lovely soft summer evening air turning to dusk, and a great tour guide (Sylvia) and boat driver, in a beautiful water taxi. We explored both large and small canals. Absolutely the finest intro to Venice.

Our guide was great but this tour was very disappointing. We were under the impression that it was a private boat and was between 1-2 hours. It was not. We were on a taxi boat that the tour operator hired as we walked up to the docks. The whole thing lasted less than 45 minutes and the driver did not slow down for anything. I believe he literally circled the island and headed back. For the money, just rent your own taxi for $50. Not worth what we paid.

It was a wonderful time and our conversations with the guide were so enjoyable. It was a relaxing and interesting way to see Venice by water.
