The day was very well organised, guided tours and tours were offered on the way there, which included almost everything that is important to experience in Venice: gondola ride, St. Mark's Square, lunch and taxi transfer by motorboat. It was a pity that you didn't know that beforehand to pocket enough cash. And a second small minus point: on the catamaran the air conditioning was set extremely cold! So be sure to wear long clothes and pack them up!

The English-speaking guide was especially nice. He spoke very interestingly and did not tire us too much with the facts. We took the full package and were very satisfied, because we got to see and experience a lot in a limited time.

We had a wonderful time :) Thanks to the German-speaking guide, we learned a lot about Venice. I can definitely recommend this trip.

It was a fantastic experience! Friendly staff on board. We were lucky enough to spot the dolphins and tuna!!

Very recommended trip, amazing staff and very professional.
