Dear all, We had the 8 hour electric boat experience. After a warm welcome and a detailed briefing we went off for the extended boat trip. The very easy to use boat responds to all commands in a very quick and direct way. The build in GPS map is also very easy to read so there is no trouble or unsolved question where to go. For people who might think about getting lost there is nothing to worry about. Unfortunately there was a regatta going on in Venice so there was no opportunity to moor the boat and get something to eat. But the CBV team was so nice so they gave us the option to moor the boat in the harbour and take a snack on the pizza place nearby whilst getting some extra time on the boat. The next visit to Venice will be connected with a boat trip and we are sure that it will be great again. Thanks a million to all of the CBV team members!

I took it in Sep 2019. What I thought would be a serene end to my very exciting and fun-filled day turned out to be a very disappointing and super noisy experience. First of all, they run it in fleets and music plays only on one gondola. My fleet had 5 gondolas and orchestra was playing only in the middle one. Mine was the first in the line. I still tried to enjoy it and hear what was being played on that one lucky gondola but NOPE. Even that became impossible because our gondolier thought it to be the best time to chat with his friends on other gondolas at the peak of his voice. He was very inconsiderate and was chatting with his friends (shouting) during the whole ride. I was a solo traveller and there were couple of other families on my gondola. When we couldn't take it anymore and almost towards the end of the ride, I and one other person asked him very politely to turn it down a bit as we wanted to hear the music that was being played on 2 gondolas behind, he behaved very rudely and insolently, imitating us to his friends, making sh sh...sounds. WOW! So, in nutshell: What I expected: Scenic gondola ride with peaceful music playing on my gondola What I got: Music playing on a gondola that was 2 gondolas away, super noisy and insolent gondlier. Some serenade it was!

Wish we had read the reviews before booking. Palermo is quite small and most the main sights are very central, so you don’t really need a bus tour. However, even if you are not keen on walking, the bus tour will be of little use, as the advertised ‘hop on, hop off, every 20 minutes’ is simply untrue. The bus only arrives every 90 minutes (we lunched in a restaurant next to the stop we alighted from and that was the time gap). In addition, there is no access to a live map for bus arrivals, so you have no idea when the next bus will arrive. In a nutshell, it’s a rip off.
