We had the most amazing time on our boat tour with Indaco! He brought us through the canals in Venice and in Burano and let us play music! 10/10 recommend booking a tour with him!

Renting with Andrea was amazing. Great communication and easy to find the pick up point for the boat. We were staying at the Zattare water bus stop in Venice and we took the water bus over to the pick up point. Channel markers makes it easy to navigate the waters there so don't worry about getting lost. I would definitely rent from Andrea again! He was very easy to work with.

Marco is a professional. Responsive, knows what, where and when. We booked the night before for morning, and were very satisfied. If you have one quality day in Venice to see and experience things like Murano, Burano and the likes, Marco is the way to go.

It was a very good experience. Everything worked well and it was a nice and good quality boat. Booking was easy and Andrea replied quickly and very helpful with all questions, to make everything go smooth and easy. They even helped us book a taxi back after the trip. I will for sure come back next time I am in Venice
