Wonderful experience seeing Venice from the water. Our guide was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the history of Venice and entertain all of our questions. The boat was very comfortable and we liked how quiet the boat was to be able to hear life bustling around Venice. Thank you!

Our guide was lovely and kind, his English was great, he gave us info and answered questions but also left time and space for us to just relax and and enjoy. It was myself and my husband and our 7 year old daughter and we loved it.
It was a smooth ride and a great tour through the not so busy touristic channels of Venice that allowed us to sightsee more of the city, including Murano at a good distance.
Our driver was on time and did a great tour of Venice. He was really knowledgeable and friendly. He took us places you would never see as a tourist walking around. It put the whole city in perspective.
Romina was excellent. Vibrant, full of emotion and information throughout the guide. Her restaurant recommendations were excellent, make sure to write them down (we forgot and got lost a bit finding the place). Highly recommended.
This was a wonderful way to see Venice .. Our guide was a sweetheart .. he to multiple areas , including the Jewish ghetto , St Marc’s , Rialto . Made terrific suggestions for food .. overall a great introduction to Venice
It was really nice to see everything by boat. Such a beautiful place. I just loved it and would highly recommend the tour.
The boat trip around the canals of Venice was spectacular! We got to see all of Venice around the Grand Canals. Our guide, Sebastian was so full of knowledge and was very kind and welcoming. We loved the experience and felt so bad not having any cash to leave a tip. Perhaps worthwhile putting on website so future travellers know:)
Searched long and hard for something special and found the AQA Venice range of environmentally responsible electric boat cruises. Our Captain, Sebastian, was friendly and informative. We saw the best of Venice and avoided the tourist traps. We can say without hesitation that this cruise was one of the best highlights of our 4 day stay in Venice. Highly recommended, K & S
Great tour! VERY hard to get to the meeting point, We suggest choosing an easier place to meet, Driver/guide was very knowledgeable.
Best 360 views of the city. Can’t be missed. Highly recommend. Sebastian our captain made us feel like family
Sebastian was very flexible, friendly, and informative. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed our trip.
There's nothing like exploring Venice by boat but what makes this tour above all the others is seeing the sights from a quite private electric boat. No crowds! Just your party, the open water, and Venice.
We totally enjoyed our tour. What a great way to experience Venice. Driver was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Booked this tour last minute and it ended up being the best part of our trip. Traveling with parents and the tour guide was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the area.
This was a great way to see more of the canals than most regular trips. Our driver was very informative. We’d definitely recommend this.
This tour was an AMAZING way to see Venice. The boat operator was on time and gave us a lot of great info along the way! It is a definite must!!!
Quiet and gracious way to see the canals. Sebastian was our captain and did a nice job showing us around.
Emiliano was a knowledgeable, friendly and perfect driver/ guide. It was an interesting trip through the neighborhoods and smaller canals.
Not much time spent on the Grand Canal. We traveled on smaller canals where the locals live. This made for a peaceful trip with nice commentary from Sebastian the captain.
This was an excellent experience, taking in portions of canals that most people never see while visiting Venice. The electric motor is quiet so this is a very peaceful trip. I Highly recommend this trip.
It is supposed to include water and snacks. We were offered used and frozen water bottles and no snacks
This was a wonderful trip and the best way to see Venice. Our captain was so friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole trip fun and educational. It was a lovely addition to have a glass of Prosecco as we meandered through the canals. I would highly recommend this trip.
The boat driver was a bit late picking us up at the meeting point. His name was Sebastian. While he was pleasant, his English was not that great. He gave is almost no information about any of the sights we saw. We took the ride in silence. Also, he smoked a lot on the tour and this was not pleasant at all. He also took us out on the open water, which was very choppy, much more than we would have anticipated. We would have enjoyed more time on the quiet canals. Not worth the money spent for this tour.
The tour guide was mostly quiet throughout the trip and it was difficult to find the meeting point. Cheers
I loved traveling through the small canals seeing so many out of the way places and emerging into busy ones as well. So relaxing
The tour was good but I paid for snacks and drinks and we only got a bottle of water and NO snacks sat all. Also we paid for English speaking guide and he apologized numerous times about not speaking or understanding English very well
This trip was awesome. Very comfortable boat and very nice and friendly guide. We saw a lot of new places and learned some new additional information about Venice.
The boat ride was nice. We saw more of the slower side of Venice. I would have liked to hear more history of the city and details of the different sections we visited.
I had a wonderful solo tour with Emilino! I was in Venice for only 2 days and we cruised through places that weren’t on my radar and would have been too hard to fit in otherwise. Emilino was very knowledgeable and I learned so much. He also left quiet moments to just soak everything in. He is well connected to the city and you can tell he is dedicated to hospitality. I only wish the tour was longer as this was truly a fantastic way to see the sights. Do not hesitate to book this tour!
A relaxing boat ride through the canals of Venice. Our boat driver Fabian was knowledgeable and charming.
It was a lovely and enlightening way to see more and hear more of Venice. Emiliano was a gracious and knowledgeable host. The electric motor meant we could hear what he was telling us and all the sounds of the waterways. It was n experience not to be missed.
Very smooth sailing in the electric boat. On our trip it was just the three of us so it was very personal and we could ask whatever questions we had. Nice way to see how the “real” Venice works. We saw water ambulances, garbage boats, movers, you name it.
Nikki, our guide, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, hugely empathic and very helpful. The trip felt like we were travelling on a magic carpet through the canals in Venice. We will definitely book another trip on our return to Venice.
I’ve always dreamed of coming to Italy and do everything it has to offer, so I decided to do so solo and on a time constraint. Floating on the Venice grand canal while sipping wine has always been on my bucket list and a literal dream of mine since I was a child. Not only was I able to do so just now but Andrea and Nicky MADE SURE my dream came true, let me tell you why: 24 hours after arriving to Rome a public transport strike started and affected my train reservation from Rome to Venice so instead of taking a train at 7:30am and arriving to Venice at 11:30am I ended up only getting on one at 11:30am and arriving to Venice at 3:30pm, which was not enough time to make it from the station to my hotel and then my boat ride with them at 4pm. Andrea had been paying attention and contacted me. I explained the situation and thankfully they were able to accommodate me with a 5:30pm time slot. The result: pure magic. Venice and the canals by moonlight were a literal dream come true and taken above and beyond by these 2 amazing gentleman. Do not skip this experience! Thank you Andrea and Nicky
Awesome experience Ricardo was a local and very knowledgeable Got to see all the landmarks and smaller attractions that only locals know about
Highly recommend. 10/10 experience. Request Riccardo if you really want to see Venice like the locals do.
Amazing! We really enjoyed the 1.5 hours of exploring Venice's canals and the bay. Our host was amazing and learned a lot about the buildings and culture. Glad we chose this over booking a gondola. Would highly recommend!
It was amazing!!! Our guide told us so many things about Venice. It was like a college course. The city is so beautiful and to have a detailed history of the place was hear-melting. If I could tell everyone who visits Venice to take this tour I would.
We went in the evening and it was a very relaxing cruise. We also learned a lot about the City past and present
We had a beautiful and peaceful tour of the gorgeous city of Venice. Our local tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
Great tour. Highly recommend . It was informal, informative , and relaxed. We got a near complete view of the islands, hearing tidbits of interesting facts, and our guide taking time to allow us to get photos and ask questions. Great for kids and family
We loved our boat tour, was brilliant and relaxing. Our host was so friendly and helpful. We got to see different parts of Venice. So much fun and great photo opportunities. Would highly recommend.
We really enjoyed the tour around Venice. We went into the main canal as well as smaller canals in more quiet areas of Venice. Our tour guide was very friendly..
It might be cool especially if in evening so bring a sweater or jacket. Other than that, it was a fun experience.
Phenomenal, perfect way to see Venice and learn more about the buildings, culture, and city in general
Great time with wine. Hidden canal tours and St. Marks Square views were awesome. Beautiful weather helps.
Emiliano is punctual and considerate, we took this tour late of the day and he offered us blankets and hand warmers. Beautiful ride.
What an amazing experience! This tour gives you better than a gondola experience. We were able to go around the canals of Venice sipping wine and eating some cicchetti (snacks). Emiliano was very knowledgable of the Venetian history, geography, and lifestyle. Two thumbs up and highly recommended. Bring your own wine!
Thank you so much! Great tour of Venice's canals and the bay. That was a great 1.5 hours trip. We enjoyed it really much. Much better than booking a gondola. Highly recommended!
