A Very Memorable Day
I booked the Riva Aquariva "Dea" as a surprise for my wife. I knew she'd be ready for time away from crowds by our 3rd day in Venice. Luca and Il Capitano had Dea tied up a short distance from our flat. The vessel instantly commands attention and looked gorgeous berthed in the canal. Glamour aside, a private boat affords access to parts of the lagoon seldom seen by tourists. Luca organised a behind the scenes glass blowing (and bellinis) tour in Murano and an outstanding lunch at a famed restaurant in Burano. You can do some of these things with other tour guides, they just won't be as good. Luca provided historical context to the journey which was fascinating. Doing business with Luca and his team is about access. He booked us for a private tour with Paola for Doge's Palace and San Marco. She was outstanding. We had a travel plan mix-up on our last day and Luca produced a very nice car and driver to whisk us off to Trieste. You'll travel in style and with confidence when you choose ShoMe Venice Tours and their competent team. When is the next time you'll visit? Maximize the experience by surrounding yourself with good people.
Response from the operator: Dear Andrew, Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for this amazing and detailed review. It's been such a pleasure meeting both of you and helping in any way possible to make your stay in my city the best ever. We hope to welcome you back soon! All the best, Luca

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP cost?
+
Prices start at $4,227 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 Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP take?
+
Plan for about 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 Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP?
+
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 Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP?
+
Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP 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 Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP?
+
Included: Private transportation; Carbonated beverages; On-board restrooms; and Snacks. Not included: Lunch; and Venissa Wine Tasting (Mazzorbo island). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 452 listed pickup locations in and around Venice. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Luxury Riva Aquariva Venice Tour - VIP?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
