5.00Great experience with Francesco! We went through Dorsoduro, Giudecca, Arsenale, Murano, Burano and Torcello. The stop in front of Piazza San Marco was amazing! Great guide explaining historical and cultural facts of Venice and the Laguna Veneta. I would recommend anytime!

5.00Amazing boat trip around Venice! Our Captain Daniele did a great job of pointing out the historic sites around the islands. We also lucked out with the weather and were treated with a trip around Murano, and an amazing sunset coming back into Venice. Such a great trip and highly recommend!
An absolutely amazing time

Unforgettable Venice Proposal – Thank You Francesco & Nicki!

5.00This was more than a boat ride—it was the most important moment of my life, and Francesco and Nicki made it absolutely perfect. From the moment we stepped onto the beautifully restored wooden boat, we felt like we were in a dream. Cruising through the quiet canals and then out onto the Grand Canal, the views were breathtaking—St. Mark’s Square, the Bridge of Sighs, and the timeless Venetian skyline all around us. But the true highlight was how seamlessly Francesco and Nicki helped me pull off a surprise proposal. Their warmth, timing, and behind-the-scenes help meant my partner had no idea what was coming until the perfect moment arrived. With San Marco in the background and prosecco in hand, I asked—and she said yes! They even captured photos of the whole thing and celebrated with us like old friends. It didn’t feel like a tour; it felt like sharing something personal and joyful with people who genuinely cared. If you're in Venice, book this. If you’re planning a proposal—book it immediately. You won’t find better people or a more magical way to start the next chapter of your life. Grazie mille, Francesco and Nicki. You gave us a memory we’ll treasure forever.
