Traveler reviews
Not good for kids
Very slow going and narration is on your phone. Just walk the canal instead. Never offered the optional cocktails.
Relaxing Canal Cruise
A nice relaxing cruise along the canal and back. Good views and not too long in duration. We enjoyed it.
It was good but the the...
It was good but the the weather was very hot it’s good not to come in this time of the year plus it was disappointing because they’re in the voucher. It says that there is a drink and snack would be provided and nothing even provided even water so it was disappointing.
Go to Venice instead lol
This was definitely the worst boat ride me and my family have been on. The city of Milan is just so lack there of so this boat experience made sense. The crew didn’t even try to engage with any of the passengers, like at all. No heyy welcome on board or just a simple greeting to anyone. That ruined the beginning and just seeing a bunch of desolate wasteland didn’t enhance it. $19 was too much for such a boring ride! I could’ve floated on a mattress down the canals and had more fun and come up with my own history lessons using google!
Nice, but for foreign tourists.
The tour itself isn't bad, but there are objectively situations that need to be reviewed. First of all, the appetizer is not served on the boat; you have to get it at a kiosk near the dock, where they also give you a mini-box with 3 chips, a few Spanish snacks, and four tarallucci. Once you enter the boarding area, there isn't even a scrap of a table to put down what you have in both hands (that is, the appetizer and the mini-box) until boarding. Once seated, there is also no type of support there. So if you want to keep your hands free, you have to finish the appetizer before departing. The route itself is nothing special, but it can be nice for a tourist who doesn't know Milan. I would say that overall it isn't even worth half of the 66 Euros paid for two people.
