Agradable paseo y con un tiempo excelente por la zona no tan turística de Venecia . Creo que podría ser mucho más aprovechable si hubiera contenido en el viaje , contando de forma amena anécdotas de la historia y de la actualidad de la vida en Venecia . La mayoría del tiempo no contaban nada …. Aún siendo de fuera de Venecia , si tuviera que contar el recorrido a unos amigos se me ocurrirían miles de cosas . Translate this opinion into English.

A pleasant walk with excellent weather in the less touristy part of Venice. I think it could have been much more useful if the trip had been told in an entertaining way, anecdotes about the history and current events of life in Venice. Most of the time they didn't tell anything... Even though I'm not from Venice, if I had to tell the story to some friends, thousands of things would occur to me. Opinion translated. Show original.

Además las explicaciones dadas por el guía a bordo fueron realmente interesantes, ¡descubrí muchas cosas sobre Venecia y curiosidades sobre la ciudad! Muy recomendable.

El paseo en barco está muy bien. No va por el gran Canal, va por San Marcos hacia las islas. Paseo relajante de una hora disfrutando de las vistas de la Basílica y el Campanille desde el agua. Lo único que nos costó mucho localizar el barco. Falta señalización por parte de Cuvitatis. Por lo demás, la actividad es recomendable.

The boat ride is very good. It doesn't go along the Grand Canal, it goes along San Marco towards the islands. A relaxing one-hour ride enjoying the views of the Basilica and the Campanile from the water. The only thing we had a hard time locating the boat was that there was no signage from Cuvitatis. Otherwise, the activity is recommended.

The tour was good, but I had a difficulty, my friend got off the boat very dizzy. The guide needed to help me get her off the boat and I was left alone. I am a tourist and I had to look for help from other people on the street. My friend got very sick and They had to call an ambulance, I looked for the guide but he was already gone, my friend is now in the hospital and I want to know if the tour insurance can cover the emergency Opinion translated.

Tour meraviglioso. Bellissimo vedere le meraviglie di Venezia da un altro punto di vista! L'accompagnatrice e lo staff sono stati veramente gentili. Anche se ero l'unico italiano la guida ha spiegato anche in lingua italiana e mi sono sentito molto ben accolto! Consigliato per vedere l'isola della giudecca che altrimenti si può visitare solo prendendo il vaporetto. Translate this opinion into English.

Wonderful tour. Beautiful to see the wonders of Venice from another point of view! The host and the staff were really kind. Even though I was the only Italian, the guide also explained in Italian and I felt very welcome! Recommended to see the island of Giudecca which otherwise can only be visited by taking the vaporetto.

Il tour in barca è stato gradevole, e con una spiegazione essenziale della storia di Venezia. Ci sono stati alcuni tratti non utili e, ovviamente, privi di commento da parte dell'hostess che ha curato la nostra visita. Forse si poteva ridurre di un 15 minuti... Giudizio complessivo positivo. Translate this opinion into English.

The boat tour was pleasant, and with an essential explanation of the history of Venice. There were some sections that were not helpful and, obviously, devoid of comment from the hostess who oversaw our visit. Maybe it could have been reduced by 15 minutes... Overall positive opinion.

Consiglio questo tour a chi vuole scoprire Venezia e vedere la piazza dal bacino di san Marco. La barca a due piani bellissima e spaziosa, comoda per questo tipo di tour. La guida e lo staff a bordo sono stati gentili e, visto anche che eravamo in pochi, ci hanno offerto un caffé caldo! Consigliato Translate this opinion into English.

I recommend this tour to those who want to discover Venice and see the square from St. Mark's basin. The beautiful and spacious double-deck boat, comfortable for this type of tour. The guide and the staff on board were kind and, seeing as there were only a few of us, they offered us a hot coffee! Advised Opinion translated. Show original.

Tutto molto bene. Barca coperta e comoda. Guida ok. Unica cosa da migliorare secondo la mia opinione è l'accoglienza nel senso che non è stato facile individuare la guida tra tanti operatori e sarebbe stato più agevole se ci fosse stato un chiaro segno di riconoscimento. Comunque splendida gita. Bravi Translate this opinion into English.

All very well. Covered and comfortable boat. Drive ok. The only thing to improve in my opinion is the welcome in the sense that it was not easy to identify the guide among so many operators and it would have been easier if there had been a clear sign of recognition. Anyway, wonderful trip. Well done Opinion translated. Show original.

Nel complesso una bella esperienza. Arrivati all'appuntamento in perfetto orario ma non trovato l'operatore, sono stato costretto a telefonare il consorzio il quale ha subito contattato l'operatore e ci ha indicato dove l'imbarco. Operatrice molto molto gentile cordiale e disponibile così ci come il capitano. Nel complesso consigliabile. Translate this opinion into English.

Overall a good experience. Arrived at the appointment on time but not found the operator, I was forced to call the consortium which immediately contacted the operator and showed us where to embark.

La Balade était agréable avec des explications enrichissantes. Un peu de frayeur avant le départ car on a du mal à identifier le quai et le bateau. 5mn avant le départ nous ne voyions personne qui correspondait à notre réservation mais finalement plus de peur que de mal. Translate this opinion into English.

The Walk was pleasant with enriching explanations. A little scared before departure because it is difficult to identify the quay and the boat. 5 minutes before departure we saw no one who matched our reservation but ultimately more fear than harm. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fuimos mi pareja y mi hijo de 4 años a un paseo por barco con Giorgina (guía) y el capitán. Ambos nos ofrecieron un trato excelente y amable. Giorgina un encanto respondiendo todas las preguntas y siendo muy cercana. El capitán nos hizo un tour muy agradable por la laguna de Venecia bordeando Giudecca. Sin duda lo recomendiendo y repetiría de nuevo. Translate this opinion into English.

My partner and my 4-year-old son went on a boat trip with Giorgina (guide) and the captain. Both offered us excellent and friendly treatment. Giorgina is charming, answering all questions and being very close. The captain gave us a very nice tour of the Venetian lagoon bordering the Giudecca. Definitely recommending it and would do it again. Opinion translated. Show original.

Un tour molto ben pensato e diverso rispetto ai consueti standard turistici.

Abbiamo scoperto un lato inconsueto di Venezia in modo piacevole su una imbarcazione intima ma al contempo comoda. Il tempo giusto per non spazientire un bimbo di 7 anni e riposare un po' le gambe dopo una lunga camminata per arrivare al molo di attracco. Ciao e grazie Translate this opinion into English.

We discovered an unusual side of Venice in a pleasant way on an intimate but at the same time comfortable boat. The right time not to make a 7-year-old child impatient and rest your legs a bit after a long walk to get to the dock. Hello and thanks Opinion translated. Show original.

FANTASTICO!!! Marina mi ha completamente incantata con i suoi racconti e le curiosità su questa città incredibile; vista “da fuori” se ne percepisce ancora di più il valore! Bellissimo davvero!
