★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,389 reviews · from $94Our pick

Venice day trip from Lake Garda with private boat transfer, guided sights at St. Mark’s and Rialto, plus free time. From $94.37.

“Was a really good organised day the only thing I would say is make sure guests are told they need cash for any add ons for the day You can book gondola ride and a cruise but only if you pay in cash on bus We missed out on the gondola ride because of this But everything else was perfect Even if those add on trips were available to add on at the time of booking would have been better”

8.Murano and Burano half-day trip from Punta Sabbioni Jesolo

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 204 reviews · 5 hours · from $29Best value

Half-day motorboat from Punta Sabbioni to Murano and Burano, glass demo option, lace streets, covered lagoon comfort.

“Overall, an enjoyable trip. Two disappointing aspects: First, it wasn't stated on the website that starting from Lido di Jesolo meant stopping for 30 minutes in fierce sun while picking up Venice passengers. And that links to the second problem - the sun awning wasn't unfurled at any point,earning the upper deck was in full sun for the whole time of the trip.”
