Amazing tour! I won’t give away all of the details, but if you are contemplating this tour, don’t hesitate! Davide does a wonderful job and it’s great having someone born and raised locally to give you the tour and share a few lesser known secrets and sites with you! Best of our trip in Venice!!

Would highly recommend Davide and his full Day boat tour of the northern lagoon. Good size boat for four of us and very comfortable. It had a removable cover if needed. Davide was charming, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about Venice. He also has a great sense of humour! It was a surprise trip for my husband’s 60th birthday and Davide was very good at advising me on the perfect itinerary. He even managed to get us into a wonderful family run restaurant for lunch which was fully booked but he arranged a perfect table outside in the garden. All in all a very memorable day which we couldn’t have enjoyed more. Thank you Davide!

Davide was incredible! Super knowledgeable, very friendly and great with our kids too. He took us on the most incredible day to Murano and Burano. He managed to get us a table at a restaurant that we were desperate to go to. He had no afternoon tour so we had an extra 2 hours that he didn’t charge us for. Well worth the money and took us to authentic parts of the island. Highly recommend!!! We will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip to Murano and Burano with Davide. Communication was excellent and the tour definitely exceeded our expectations. It was fun to walk the back streets of Burano, to do some shopping and to end it off with a light lunch in a great Osteria a little off the main tourist areas. Davide is knowledgeable about the history and the area and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.
