The largest in terms of breadth and depth among all the canals of Venice, it houses the famous white Palladian churches, which represent a large part of the Venetian artistic heritage.

The boat was 45 minutes late. The directions were very confusing, so we had a hard time finding the pickup place.
Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback; we will use it to further improve our services in the future. Best regards, Consorzio Vidali Group
It was a good, short ride with the kids. It is was informative, while getting to see the South part of Venice. I didn't have any expectations, which made it a little more enjoyable. If you want a ride to see the different islands, this is not the ride for you. The staff were pleasant.
Dear Customer, We're happy that your experience was positive. We hope to see you again soon! Best regards, Consorzio Vidali Group
We lost the race even if they were there 30 min before, you do not calicate which boat and no one gives you directions, more than the money we are disappointed, I do not recommend it
Gentile cliente, ci dispiace che non abbia potuto prendere parte all'esperienza. Al meeting point è sempre presente una persona dotata di cartello blu identificativo, inoltre i nostri recapiti telefonici sono sempre attivi 24 su 24 per rispondere ad ogni dubbio o esigenza. Ci auguriamo di vederla in futuro a bordo delle nostre barche cosi da poterle offrire una magnifica esperienza. Cordialmente, Consorzio Vidali Group
No more terrible experience with staff and organization. The rude tour guide. I recommend not booking with this company
Gentile cliente, ci dispiace sapere che il tour non è stato all'altezza delle sue aspettative. Cordialmente, Consorzio Vidali Group
there was no tent or flag or uniform to identify the tour in this very busy dock. the tour itself was outside the interesting parts of venice. the young lady narrating the tour spoke very fast in a heavy accent which made it difficult to understand.
Dear customer, We are sorry to hear that the tour didn't live up to your expectations. However this tour went as planned and took place regularly as per the itinerary. Thank you for your comment. We are always trying to improve our service. Kind regards, Consorzio Vidali Group
The tour was really interesting and the boat was also comfortable to listen to the guide telling the history of Venice.
Gentile Cliente, La ringraziamo per la bella recensione! Speriamo di averla ancora a bordo con noi per un altro dei nostri tour della Laguna di Venezia. Un cordiale saluto, Vidali Group Team
We had this experience starting at 12 noon from a pier near the Station of St. Lucia and returned at 19.00. We crossed the Giudecca canal and it was very interesting the explanation that the guide provided in different languages. Apart from the stops to collect customers almost everywhere, we finally headed to the island of Murano - at a furnace that held a free presentation of the glass art with its spontaneous purchase by the defendants. Appointment for the departure at 15.30 after lunch at the local restaurants and visit to the island. The departure for Torcello followed and the stop lasted just over an hour. During the journeys, the guide explained what could be done and/or seen, giving historical information about the locations. In Burano we arrived almost at dusk but, in my opinion, it deserved a greater stop and with the sun. Here too, we were teleported to a lace shop for possible purchases. You know, advertising is the soul of Commerce! Anyway a good day outdoors, visiting with the help of the company three beautiful islets. The unfortunate thing, if you do not notice immediately, is where the tour ends that does not take you back to Saint Lucia but leaves you in St. Mark's. For those who know Venice, they know that the distance is really a lot. If you want to be taken back to where the tour started, you have to pay € 7.50 per person, plus the cost of the tour. We paid the difference and at 7.30pm we finally got off the boat.
Buongiorno, Grazie per la sua recensione. Il nostro tour ha seguito le tappe previste dal programma specificato al momento dell'acquisto e sul biglietto.

Un cordiale saluto, Vidali Group Team
Nice boat ride around the Venice area, with tour guide talking about the buildings along the coast..
Dear client, we are happy that you liked our tour and thank you for your review. We look forward to having you on board again soon! Kind Regards Vidali Team
Returning to the surroundings of Venice by very good sea, we went with a friend and the boat was inexplicably quite empty. Giorgia, the guide, knows a lot about Venetian art and the city was very friendly and attentive at all times. Recommended!
Muchas gracias por tu comentario, nuestra guia Giorgia te saluda y te agradece cordialmente ! Vidali Navigazione Staff
