Venedig: Großer Kanal Motorboot-Tour

I was debating between this tour and the gondola tour. I decided to go with this one, because I was hoping this one would be better as it was a guided, while the gondola one is not guided. it turns out, this is completely different from the gondola tour. This tour went around outside of the island, then along the grand canal. You could see all buildings including the Palazzo Santa Sofia. To this point it is good, but it is not what I have expected. So I had to take the gondola again, and this time the gondola went under neath a few small bridges, while travelling along narrow rivers. This is what I have expected. I am not saying this tour is not good. I am saying it is different from I have expected.

Die Tour war sehr schön, wir haben vieles gesehen und gehört. Dennoch finde ich leider, dass 10 Personen pro Boot zu viele sind, denn die meiste Zeit über darf man sich außerhalb der Kabine aufhalten und das war alles sehr gequetscht und 2 Personen hatten nicht mal die Chance die Kabine zu verlassen aufgrund von Platzmangel. Abgesehen davon sehr empfehlenswert!

This was a very good way to spend an hour on a lovely boat with a very lovely knowledgeable guide who took us around the outside of the harbour and then dropping in at the top to go the grand canal. So much to see and lots to take in. Very good value and worth it. You have to swap your electronic ticket for a paper ticket right where the tour starts. We got there 15 minutes early. Everything was on time and worked perfectly. Another excellent trip through Get Your Guide

We booked this Grand Canal tour expecting beautiful views, but instead, we got trapped in a closed-roof boat that felt like a sauna. We couldn't see the sights we paid for. On top of the terrible boat conditions, the company delayed our start time from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM. This was a huge source of anxiety for us since we had a 7:30 PM train to catch. A complete waste of time and money, and an unnecessary source of stress.

Das war eine super entspannte Tour mit einem sehr kompetenten Guide und vielen interessanten Informationen. Der Schalter zum Ticketumtausch war gut zu finden, nur der Wartepunkt ist schwammig. Es hieß am Schalter nur "da drüben warten" mit Geste in die Richtung. Ich war nervös, ob wir "gefunden" werden. Ich kann die Fahrt absolut empfehlen.

La guia fue excelente, a pesar que tuvimos que tomar el tour en ingles por que no habia en español, nos dio una explicación a detalle de los edificio mas emblemáticos. Lo único malo es que nos sentó dentro del barco y todas las ventanas estaban sucias y opacas, todo se veía borroso, lo bueno es que fuimos pocas personas y nos tuvimos que salir y acomodar como pudimos.
