The trip was super organized, where you were free to choose different options on the catamaran in terms of gondola, lunch, water taxi, etc ... We did everything that ultimately cost us 90 euros per person. Not expensive when you consider what the prices are when you purchase the services in Venice itself. The trip itself went smoothly and there were nice employees on board. The guides enthusiastically told something about the history of Venice. Also in Venice itself, their guidance and telling was a pleasure to experience. The tour, gondola ride and lunch went one after the other, so there was still time from 2.30 pm to 4.10 pm to stroll around the narrow streets, past the nice restaurants, cafes and shops. The gondola ride was very nice, the lunch delicious (incl. wine, soft drinks or water) and the water taxi pleasant to get back to the harbor. All in all, a must for a day in Venice!

Venice is definitely worth a trip, but one day is not enough. We had the complete program for €90 per person, which means that you are bound to fixed processes. That can sometimes be a bit exhausting, but you also get a few things worth knowing explained. If you don't want to walk everything, plan a gondola ride and want to take a water taxi on the Canale Grande, you'll certainly get away cheaply here. Only criticism was the included food. Just underground, every German company canteen can do that better. Kudos to all three tour guides, very friendly and open interaction in several languages, we particularly liked Sandra's commitment.

During the outward journey explanation about the history of Venice. Good tips were also given. Also options to sail transfers or gondola or restaurant early "dinner" or taxi boat through this organization with an extra discount. Seen and experienced a lot in a short time.

This family farm is awesome. Rene was a great host with a great tour of the olive grove. The wine with food tasting complete with wonderful olive oil was very tasty. I highly recommend this experience!

We had a wonderful time :) Thanks to the German-speaking guide, we learned a lot about Venice. I can definitely recommend this trip.
