Our canal tour with Damiano was worth every cent. He shared lots of local knowledge and answered our many questions. It was very interesting seeing Chioggia from the lagoon and canals. This was easily one of our favourite tours in Italy. We highly recommend this tour!

Since Chioggia with its canals and lagoon is predestined for a boat trip we just went for it. we wanted a guided tour in a more private atmosphere without tons of others. if you’re looking for something like that and you should find Bosetti tours, stop, you’re right. no need to look any further. they offer a big range of different trips for small groups. my wife and I even were all alone so it felt quite luxurious. 😏 the homepage is well made and easy to navigate. several languages are offered. got a confirmation right away and Damiano even called me to check if everything is as we wished to be. he‘s the perfect guide, an expert on his field and a really nice fella. tons of historical and local knowledge. or you just listen to the sea…😚 the trip was an hour and a half, just perfect. my wife and I agreed it was our favourite part of our holidays so far. so, people, try it. it’s great. and Damiano, thanks again. gorgeous time.
