About Us
Vidal Venice Tours was born in early 2018 from the values of a young traveller, Alessandro.
We strongly believe in authentic and intimate boat tours, giving the chance to experience Venice and its surroundings as locals do.
We currently offer various boat tours including: Murano and Burano tours, A Venetian Aperitif on The Lagoon, swimming tours and much more.
Our current boat is 7.5m (24 ft) long, has 11 seats available, has a canopy for hot summer days, and can navigate up to 30kts (35mph) making it the ideal boat for comfort and long transfers across the lagoon (for example while visiting islands like Murano, Burano and Torcello).
By the end of 2025 we have welcomed over 25,000+ guests from 30+ countries around the world, receiving an average of 5 stars on travel websites such as Google, Airbnb and Trip Advisor. Yet we keep growing and improving day by day 😉
