A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Ugo provided excellent insights into life in Venice (which included introducing us to friends in each of the bars that we visited!) & took around places we would not have visited. We sampled delicious food & drinks and he was great company. What more could you ask?!

Dear all, We had the 8 hour electric boat experience. After a warm welcome and a detailed briefing we went off for the extended boat trip. The very easy to use boat responds to all commands in a very quick and direct way. The build in GPS map is also very easy to read so there is no trouble or unsolved question where to go. For people who might think about getting lost there is nothing to worry about. Unfortunately there was a regatta going on in Venice so there was no opportunity to moor the boat and get something to eat. But the CBV team was so nice so they gave us the option to moor the boat in the harbour and take a snack on the pizza place nearby whilst getting some extra time on the boat. The next visit to Venice will be connected with a boat trip and we are sure that it will be great again. Thanks a million to all of the CBV team members!

We booked a tour to Pompeii and Sorrento and had a great time. Seamless and stress free from the hotel pick up to drop off in the evening. Mauro, our driver, was entertaining and spoke good English. Nice Mercedes for comfortable travel. Our guide in Pompeii was equally good - very knowledgable and perfect length of tour. Couldn’t fault the deal

Guide and water transportation picked us up at our hotel on time. Guide was very friendly - knowledgeable and accommodating. The glass experience was incredible - the artist made several pieces in front of us. Opportunity to view and purchase pieces. The family at the glass shoppe was superb - they even made a couple of special requests for us while we waited and watched. Guide then took us to a lunch spot she recommended - walked us to the spot and introduced us to the owners who treated us like royalty - with no reservation on a packed day. All in all - a great time for my family

I took it in Sep 2019. What I thought would be a serene end to my very exciting and fun-filled day turned out to be a very disappointing and super noisy experience. First of all, they run it in fleets and music plays only on one gondola. My fleet had 5 gondolas and orchestra was playing only in the middle one. Mine was the first in the line. I still tried to enjoy it and hear what was being played on that one lucky gondola but NOPE. Even that became impossible because our gondolier thought it to be the best time to chat with his friends on other gondolas at the peak of his voice. He was very inconsiderate and was chatting with his friends (shouting) during the whole ride. I was a solo traveller and there were couple of other families on my gondola. When we couldn't take it anymore and almost towards the end of the ride, I and one other person asked him very politely to turn it down a bit as we wanted to hear the music that was being played on 2 gondolas behind, he behaved very rudely and insolently, imitating us to his friends, making sh sh...sounds. WOW! So, in nutshell: What I expected: Scenic gondola ride with peaceful music playing on my gondola What I got: Music playing on a gondola that was 2 gondolas away, super noisy and insolent gondlier. Some serenade it was!

I have been to Venice before but wanted to show my wife the most of Venice in 3 days before we departed for our cruise. We had a limited time visiting Venice and decided on this tour rather than exploring on our own for the sake of time. This was a wonderful tour and highlighted the best of Venice. We really enjoyed the narration of the city and it's history. The boat ride was probably the highlight of the tour. It showed us many areas that tourist don't usually go to and we saw absolutely beautiful cathedrals and private homes. This tour was a no brainier and would recommended it to everyone.

Great experience but watch out for the "swap the glass with a broken one scam" we paid E500 for 2 glasses, got back on the cruise ship only to find a chip in the glass. These were perfect when we chose them in the gallery. A big shame as it let down an otherwise great day with a free (though apparently not) water taxi ride from the main part of Venice, had to make own way back which was easy though
