Beautiful sunset tour and easy to book
We decided to book a last minute 6pm, one-hour cruise to catch a late summer/early fall sunset. Luca was spectacular. He messaged me to ensure I was able to find the correct place to meet. He also was wonderful explaining various historical components of Venice, along with unique areas not often seen by tourists. We traveled out from a perfect, easy to reach spot in Dorsoduro, through small canals, out across the Guidecca Canal, down and around the south of it, then back up across in front of Basicila di San Marco / Palazzo Ducale. All during a beautiful sunset. It was a perfect size boat for my wife and I, but it should be able to accommodate 4-5 individuals. It was a wonderful and spectacular way to spend our last night in Venice. I highly recommend Luca and his tour!

Monster gondola operator! Do not u!!!
Horrible! Do not use Alexder he tried to hit us, cursed at us, cancelled on us 5 min before the ride. Completely attack us with no refund Never agsin
Response from the operator: Dear customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback, but we believe you have reviewed the wrong business.Our company does not operate gondolas, and we do not have any staff member named Alexander or Alexder. I am Luca, the owner, and I run all the tours personally.We kindly ask you to double-check the name of the operator you booked with, as this serious incident does not involve our activity in any way. Best regards, Luca

Venice Boat Experience with my wife
Guy is a PRO and the tour is really nice. The time goes by fast though so take lots of pics while you can!

This was a relaxing,...
This was a relaxing, quiet boat ride for my wife and I, but it didn't really meet our expectations. We spent much of the ride in rural/outskirts parts of Venice and not in the inner canals, so it wasn't very scenic for much of the ride. The last 10-15 minutes were spent in/near the grand canal and had some nicer, photogenic views. It was a good ride for some peace and quiet, if that's what you're looking for, but it's definitely a faster pace and less romantic than a gondola ride.
Response from the operator: I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the tour.

A fantastic experience! I...
A fantastic experience! I couldn’t rate it highly enough. We saw so much of Venice that you couldn’t experience when walking around

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon cost?
+
Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.
Is Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 151 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon?
+
Around 53 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Venice?
+
On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Tour of The Real Hidden Venice. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Venice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon?

What languages is Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Colibri Boat Tour Venice: Private Tour in the Venice Lagoon?
+
