Venice Boat tour Excursion Reviews

Venice Hop On, Hop Off a waste of time and money. Description notes 41/2 hour tour when in reality the ticket was good for 24 hours. Long delay in leaving port which cut time for tour. Basically dropped off and were on own. Given a ticket to daVinci museum but had absolutely no time to visit museum. Were given no instructions on how to return to ship. We had to make own way back at 8 Euros each. Read Less

The guide as very nice. The cruise ship wouldn't give us the option to have a guide that could speak english. So we spent the money to have and Italian guide which we did not understand but I did want to tour Venice by boat. Read Less

Just took us to Murano and Burano Islands. That's how you get around here. There is a lot of boat traffic. Small boats, ferries carrying cars & large trucks, water taxis, yachts, riverboat cruises, etc. Read Less

Met at a convenient location & took the boat with guide to the 3 islands with about 40 or so minutes of free time to explore. Read Less

Nothing more than a small boat ride. We couldn't even take pictures because the boat was so small and low. You couldn't stand up without banging your head. Not to mention the long, unnecessary walk - why couldn't we have taken the Shuttle to the pier? Read Less

A little disappointed as the weather was overcast and threatened rain. To enjoy this trip you had to be outside and space was limited if you stayed inside the trip would have been a total waste of money. Read Less

It was a beautiful day for this boat tour that connected us from our Viking ship to the walking tour that was included in our tour package. The connections both coming from and returning to the ship were hassle free. Thanks. Read Less

We did the evening gondola ride. The following day we did the included Venice on our own! You must have a gondola ride while in Venice. Venice was very busy! Read Less

Upon arrival in Venice, we had a 2 and a half panoramic view of Venice. Experienced seeing San Pietro di Castello Church, Island of Murano, and many canals in City. Read Less

Arranged a boat tour of the Grand Canal and area. It was one of the hilights of our vacation, so informative and so beautiful at sunset. Food in Venice was terrific! Read Less

They should tell you in the excursion description that tourists boats are not allowed thru the Grand canal. Read Less

Part of a package for 1 full day with Viator. Motor launch ride up main waterway and back through grand canal. was excellent (if choppy in the main channel). Lasted an hour. Read Less

Very informative, nice pace. It was great to get the free time between stops. Read Less

Seen lots of sights in Venice well worth 20 euro Read Less

Its a bit of trip from the pier to downtown so we took the ship's excursion. We left directly from the ship pier by boat and visited the Murano Glass works (if you get out without buying let me know!) followed by a gondola ride. Quintessential Venice. Later, San Marco square and the Peggy Guggenheim Musuem. We opted to go back to the ship on our own- an 8 euro boat ride to the dock. Read Less

Went to various islnds, Murano, Burano, and a couple others, really nice Read Less

We arrived 2 days earlier than our cruise. The tour took us through the city on a canal and then out to open water on the north side and then into the grand canal. It was a fantastic way to see the city. Read Less
