Overview

[email protected]

Everyone can take the public boat, stand in a long line and visit a little of these islands, but seeing Venice from my boat is truly iconic, even for those who, like me, were born and raised there!

My typicality is that I am not in a hurry, if we finish a few minutes later, it's no problem!
Obviously without any extra compensation, my hospitality is this and it's fantastic because you come to know my city.
I am a Tour leader and I know well what a visitor is looking for and wants to see. Thanks to my knowledge I will explain to you on board, each island with its own anecdotes, the events that happen in the city and how we, locals, live in this small great wonderful city: Venice.
I remind you that it is a private tour
but if you need the exclusive Boat without anyone else on board, ask me! I will be happy to offer it to you.

What's Included

  • Alcoholic beverages Glass of Prosecco at the Furnace as a Welcome (VM18)
  • Bottled water water included as a courtesy. All drinks on the islands are at the expense of the guests
