A magical sunset in the lagoon.

It was not just a simple boat ride, but a journey into true Venice. Being accompanied by a Venetian who loves his city made all the difference: every corner, every palace, and every story was told with passion, expertise, and simplicity. The sunset over the lagoon was something indescribable, a moment of pure magic that we will hardly forget. Sailing away from the crowd, with that light and those colors, was the most beautiful way to experience Venice. Thank you for the professionalism, availability, and hospitality of Pietro. We will recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see the truest Venice and create a memory that will last forever.

Came to a meeting point...

Came to a meeting point at the right time, and found nobody. After 10 minutes got an email saying my tour is refunded. We had to change our plans to include this tour and this came s unpleasant surprise.
