Excellent experience. The tour was with Emiliano, he's great! He knows the area very well and it shows that he likes to share his knowledge! We spent a very nice afternoon
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.
