The Best Water Taxis Near Venice

Private & Personalised Boat Tour with Tour Guide + Boat Driver in Venezia, Veneto

Such a personalized experience and so glad we went this route instead of a commercial gondola service. Nico is very friendly; he provided a private water taxi, let us bring our own bottle of wine and was very knowledgeable about the history of the city. We saw more in 2 hours with him than we ever would have on foot. He provided us with personalized recommendations for the rest of our trip and pointed us towards great restaurants! 5 stars

Nico was an amazing guide with such a depth of historical understanding of the Venetian Republic that he could tie together the architecture, arts, food and culture all around us. We had a profound experience having tailored our tour to be a total of 12 hours. We took him to dinner with us on Guidecca and he guided our waiters to provide the best offerings of Venetian cuisine. We had a truly magical first full day in Venice seeing it as it should be first seen: from the water And through the inquisitive eyes of our wonderful guide Nico. Ciao our friend!

This was one of my favorite things we did on our 14-day adventure in Italy. We told him we wanted to tour the small canals of Venice. He did not disappoint with the itinerary. He allowed us to reschedule our departure location the day before and dropped us off at a local restaurant we would have never found! I highly recommend Nico!

Nico and the whole experience was amazing. I contacted Nico asking for a private boat tour along the Grand Canal that included a stop off where I could propose to my partner. He was happy to help make it special and intimate for us. Nico was friendly and informative throughout the tour and also gave us time to celebrate with prosecco after the proposal. My now fiancée still talks about how magical it all was and we'll both remember that day for ever. I highly recommend Nico. Thanks again for everything!

Nico is extremely well versed in the history of Venice and was able to give us detailed background of every part of the city. He created such a special experience for us and we learned so much. We even got a special tour of the factories in Murano. We can't wait to meet with Nico again when we are back in Venice.

Nico has a wealth of local knowledge and is able to communicate proficiently in English. We learned so much of the local history and culture while doing both a walking and a boat tour, thanks to him. We saw hidden canals and beautifully architectural buildings that would have been difficult to see on our own, particularly for a 2-night stay. Nico was also very helpful in coordinating the exact boat that met our needs and was super easy to communicate and flexible to customize our visit with specific sight-seeing requests. On the more personal side, Nico is very professional, friendly and has a fantastic sense of humor. I have already shared his contact with two friends who are visiting Venice later in the month. Highly recommended!
