    Sebastian was an excellent guide. Out ride through the back canals was very interesting and he added a special touch with his commentary.

    Beautiful experience, highly recommended

    Beautiful boat tour that allows you to cross all the sestieri of Venice. Special mention for our guide Riccardo who showed us the city from a different perspective, telling us historical anecdotes and curiosities. The whole family really enjoyed the tour. Recommended!

    Lovely morning tour of the city!

    We had a wonderful morning secret canals tour. Our guide was very friendly, pleasant, and full of information about the history of Venice. We covered so much of the city that would have taken hours by foot. We chose a morning departure to avoid the heat of the day. Because of this we got to see a lot of the way of life for locals, such as garbage boats, firetrucks, ups boats, etc out on the water doing their work. Kids ages 17, 15, 9 had a lovely time. We were offered bottles of water. It was a great tour!

    Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.

    How much does Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat cost?

    +

    Prices start at $114 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 Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat?

    +

    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 Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat?

    +

    Around 1 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat 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 Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat?

    +

    Included: Light snacks; Bottled water; Local Expert; Environmental friendly tour; and New luxury boat. Not included: Pick up at different location. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Venice: Secret Canals on Electric Boat?

    +

    +
