So relaxing!

Such a relaxing way to spend time on the water. A cruise through the waterways, admiring the yachts and homes along the way, drinking a little wine and dreaming.

Perfect experience!

I booked for my in-laws, but was there to see them off at the dock. They raved about the experience! Their gondolier, Luca, was perfect. They said he was so accommodating and considerate, and that he was "just right" for the experience that they wanted. They loved touring the "canals" and seeing all the boats and beautiful homes. They said it was a really smooth and relaxing ride, and they were so surprised that there was such a unique experience available in the area.
