Fall in Love in Venice: Gondola Ride and Romantic Meal

Very friendly gondolier who gave us a guided tour through narrow canals with very little traffic. Do not hesitate to wait for him at the start because he may have a delay on the time of the appointment. The restaurant, then, was also very good, with a very friendly owner.

Venice Romantic Sunset Tour by Typical Venetian Boat

Thomaso was an excellent guide. He was so stressed as 3 of our party were late & he was so apologetic, we ended up leaving after waiting 15 minutes for these people who said they were 5 minutes away. Apart from that, which was down to those people who have no problem making others wait, it was one of our best experiences during our stay. Thomaso was good fun, so knowledgable & shouldn’t do enough for us. We would highly recommend this trip. Our photos are amazing. We met a lovely German famil...

It was a very pleasant round tour through the lagoon of Venice, past the natural uninhabited islands to Burano and then back via Murano to Venice. The setting sun led to a wonderful evening mood on this cloudless day.

A great welcome from our guide Thomas who really amused us with in addition really lots of interesting details. A Venice seen differently. I, who am not very good at English, understood our guide quite easily, who spoke very well and softly enough.

Venice Romantic Sunset Tour by Typical Venetian Boat

It was the best decision to book this boat trip !! Our guide Tassilo (Tassimo) I could not understand it, was so kind and nice. Without him, the ride would have been only half as nice. He was wonderful at everything, told everything about the lagoon of Venice, felt safe with him and had a lot of fun !! Unfortunately, the two hours have passed as in flight, because it was so great. I can recommend this ride to everyone !! You can relax on the water with Prosecco and listen to the exciting stor...
