My mum and I went on the boat tour trip on 13.09.2023 at 4.30pm the driver and the tour guide were both nice people and they helped my mum and I on the boat. It was very interesting the boat tour trip my mum and I learnt a lot how many islands Venice is built on and how many bridges there are in Venice. And much more. My mum and I would definitely recommend any more coming to Venice to do this boat trip it is very interesting what you learn about Venice. They could not have been two nicer people the driver and the tour guide. My mum and I live in Kingstanding Birmingham, England.

We really enjoyed the tour around the Grand Canal. Our tour guide provided great information, and it was fun to ride around the canal. If there is anything negative, it would have been nice to be in more of an open boat. Most people were enclosed on the boat, so it was difficult to get good photos. From the tour description photo we anticipated being in an open boat with clear views of the water and buildings. Otherwise it was wonderful!

We booked this ticket last minute as the Vapretto was on strike the day we wanted to travel along the Grand Canal. The guide was excellent and explained the history of many of the famous buildings along the canal. if you go on this tour, make sure you sit near the front or back, not in the middle since it is covered in the middle. We were at the back so were able to stand to get good photos.
