Sunset Navigli Boat Tour in Milan with Optional Aperitivo
Overview
50 minutes
Mobile ticket
Cruising the Navigli canals offers one of the most authentic and intimate glimpses into the heart of Milan’s vibrant culture and history. As the boat gently glides over the tranquil waters, you’ll be surrounded by the historic charm of these iconic waterways, once designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself.
In the evening the air is cooler and tinged with the rich aromas of freshly baked bread and simmering sauces wafting from nearby trattorias. Gentle laughter and the murmur of conversations spill from waterside bars, blending harmoniously with the occasional splash of an oar or the soft hum of passing boats.
Savoring a glass of fine Italian wine during this journey enhances every moment, the flavors complement the scenery perfectly. It’s more than a cruise—it’s an immersion into Milanese life, a blend of history, romance, and indulgence that lingers long after the boat ride ends.

Unfortunately I booked...

1.00Unfortunately I booked this trip twice by mistake. When I arrived at what we thought was the meeting it, we were informed it was the wrong place, as we committed the number 4 from the address. If booking this trip makes sure you add 4 to Google maps. in the end we lost £154.00 as the company refused to refund us, it was such a upsetting experience.
Underwhelming, just take a walk around the area instead

1.00Underwhelming, there’s not a lot to see on the short ride - mostly just canal walls, houses and some industrial buildings. No explanations from the crew, just a QR code to scan where one can get access to an online guide, which didn’t work on my phone. Just take a walk around navigli.
Lovely sunset tour

5.00A lovely experience on a wonderfully warm and sunny evening. This was not a guided tour which was fine, snacks and drinks were available. Photos were also incredible. Hosts were polite and accommodating.

1.00Because of a canceled subway train and misdirection by google maps we arrived well after the appointed time. Though the boat captain tried to seat us the next tour was filled. The designated bar refused to give us our free drinks and Viator didn't give us our $13.00 credit on the cost of the trip so it was a complete disaster. Not the best experience though I am first to admit some of it was our fault
