Amazing!! - Amazing experience. We had a great time with our guide Luca who made our trip to Venice unforgettable. Definitely the best way to visit Venice and its beautiful lagoon.

Fantastic boat for a fantastic excursion - A splendid half day with my wife discovering the Venice lagoon on board a simply unique boat! I booked the Riva Dea through the advice of a Venetian friend with the aim of enjoying the lagoon 100% and I must say that I would make the same choice again 1000 times. It was all really fantastic. Our driver was very kind and very knowledgeable about the history of the various islands that are observed during the itinerary. They offered us typical Venetian drinks and appetizers as well as excellent coffee. You couldn't have asked for better luxury service. A very interesting part was the visit to the Murano artistic glass factory where we had the opportunity to witness the processing of blown glass by the most renowned masters, an art so special that it certainly deserves more visibility. Don't waste time looking for other tours or excursions because if you want the best of the best this is the only option! The Goddess is truly magical! I will definitely return next year with my children and book the Riva Dea for two full days to see the rest of the lagoon. Thank you so much you were fantastic!

An unforgettable day in the lagoon - I booked this tour of the islands of the northern lagoon of Venice as a surprise for my father's birthday. I had already had this experience 7 years ago with another agency but there is absolutely no comparison. The Riva Dea is the most luxurious boat I have seen in the lagoon, the captain is very prepared for any questions regarding the lagoon and its islands and then he took us to visit some truly authentic places and not the usual tourist traps. In Murano we saw glass processing in a truly exclusive way, there were only the 5 of us and the master glassmaker together with his team. FANTASTIC!!! Then we went to see the island of Burano which is a real pearl of the lagoon, with its colorful houses and its secret views which are really difficult to locate without an expert guide. We also saw the needle lace making typical of the island in a shop run for 5 generations by the family of a friend of our commander who lives on the island. The visit was very exciting and I think it is a real shame that this art is in danger of extinction because there are very few lace makers left. In Burano we also had lunch in an excellent fish restaurant that only uses km 0 products from the lagoon, during lunch we saw with our own eyes the fishermen who brought freshly caught sea bass and sea bream were still alive. Returning to Venice we saw a wonderful sunset with the sun going down behind the many bell towers and churches of Venice. My father was very happy, we couldn't have given him a better birthday present. Thank you!!!

Unforgettable day in Riva Acquariva in Venice!! - I looked for the most exclusive and luxury boat tour in Venice and this was it! Stunning boat, driver Luca very nice and very knowledgeable in telling the story of Venice! The visit to the Murano furnace was fantastic!! Seeing how they work glass is an unforgettable art! When I return to Venice, I will not hesitate to book the Dea!

Luxury within Luxury welcomed like family! - Unique experience!!! We met Luca through friends and they recommended us to book his Riva boat for our only day in Venice. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything perfect, from the boat to the people we met during the excursion. I think it's the most exclusive boat around, it makes you feel like a VIP sailing around the Venice lagoon. The first stop in Murano was very interesting, we discovered the art of glass blowing and purchased a magnificent chandelier from Luca's uncle who gave us magical moments by creating a golden vase before our eyes. We then continued to Burano sipping a Franciacorta given to us by Luca's uncle with some appetizers prepared for us. Once we arrived in Burano the driver gave us the best advice for walking around the colorful houses. We were then welcomed by the Bon family, dear friends of Luca, who have preserved the lace tradition for 6 generations, a heart-warming sight. The driver then took us to have lunch in Mazzorbo in a very typical and very "local" restaurant of a very high quality (I think it's called La Maddalena). We then returned to San Marco sipping good coffee on board and tasting the typical Burano biscuits given to us by the driver. The final part with the photos on the Riva in front of Palazzo Ducale and the Bridge of Sighs were a touch of elegance to end this splendid day with the best memories. Don't hesitate, book the Riva Dea now and you will experience the true magic of Venice and its lagoon! We can't wait to book it again for a summer day!

Exclusive excursion to Venice! - Memorable experience! I booked the Riva Dea boat to spend half a day with my family discovering the islands of the Venice Lagoon. Everything was just amazing. The driver was very nice, very helpful. The boat is a real gem, I think the most beautiful around in Venice. We felt like royalty. A further exclusive touch was the final visit to Luca's family's Murano glass factory, his uncle Fabio welcomed us with great warmth and availability, introducing us to the age-old art of glass blowing. An experience to absolutely repeat for a whole day. A thousand thanks.

An unforgettable experience!! - I booked this tour for my girlfriend, it was an amazing experience! The driver was really knowledgeable and nice, we visited a super exclusive furnace in Murano belonging to Luca's family. It was magical to see the glass processing😍 an experience that we will definitely do again!! I highly recommend it to anyone who will be staying in Venice!
