The trip was super organized, where you were free to choose different options on the catamaran in terms of gondola, lunch, water taxi, etc ... We did everything that ultimately cost us 90 euros per person. Not expensive when you consider what the prices are when you purchase the services in Venice itself. The trip itself went smoothly and there were nice employees on board. The guides enthusiastically told something about the history of Venice. Also in Venice itself, their guidance and telling was a pleasure to experience. The tour, gondola ride and lunch went one after the other, so there was still time from 2.30 pm to 4.10 pm to stroll around the narrow streets, past the nice restaurants, cafes and shops. The gondola ride was very nice, the lunch delicious (incl. wine, soft drinks or water) and the water taxi pleasant to get back to the harbor. All in all, a must for a day in Venice!

Venice is definitely worth a trip, but one day is not enough. We had the complete program for €90 per person, which means that you are bound to fixed processes. That can sometimes be a bit exhausting, but you also get a few things worth knowing explained. If you don't want to walk everything, plan a gondola ride and want to take a water taxi on the Canale Grande, you'll certainly get away cheaply here. Only criticism was the included food. Just underground, every German company canteen can do that better. Kudos to all three tour guides, very friendly and open interaction in several languages, we particularly liked Sandra's commitment.

This dolphin tour in Vrsar was an absolute highlight of our tour of Croatia. We were welcomed by nice staff on the spacious boat and had a choice of different drinks. After about 20-30min drive the first dolphins appeared. We were lucky enough to see the animals hunt twice, including several artistic jumps. The boat never "followed" the animals, but always circled them extensively. The tour lasted exactly 2 hours and at 23€ (booked online) was really reasonable in price, although it was offered on site for 2€ less. So all in all an absolutely recommendable tour to observe dolphins in the wild.

Boat ride was very nice. Rovinj is worth seeing - it is rightly called the most beautiful town in Istria. Fish food on board (with salad and white bread + juice/wine included) was very tasty. Our boat trip had to be canceled by the organizer on the booked date (storm). We were simply rebooked by getyourguide for the next day (no free cancellation option - what would have happened if that had been our departure day?!). On this day, however, our boat did not sail again (too few participants?) - we were then allowed to go on another (much larger boat) at short notice and still had a very nice trip.

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