We chose the 19;40 time slot which was perfect as the sun was just setting, leaving a beautiful backdrop of the buildings along the Navigli. Seating is open so plan to be there early if you want to sit on the front and back cushions. We sat in the middle and felt we had the cabin to ourselves. Truly wonderful.

I was unable to participate in this cruise, which was not the fault of the organizers, but due to a weather event. However, I highly commend Headout for their responsiveness; I was refunded via bank transfer to my account as soon as I shared the information. Well done again!

The cruise was great. Getting there was another story. You need to integrate your location with Google maps so that foreigners have an easier time to get there. We got lost and were 20 minutes late. Thankfully they honored on the next cruise.

It was a really comfy boat and shaded from the direct sun. Great captain and friendly people. Journey was shorter than advertised which was a little disappointing and the audio guide didn't work on our phones but still an enjoyable way to spend some time and see a different area of Milan.

Cruise the Navigli, Milan’s centuries-old canal system, on a quiet, eco-friendly boat, with multilingual audio commentary.

Board, settle in with crew assistance, and glide along the canals on a relaxed 50‑minute route.

Let your audio guide help trace Milan's canal network, trade history and working class roots as you glide past classic sights like Vicolo dei Lavandai, San Cristoforo, the Darsena, and the first lock on the Naviglio Pavese.

Add a touch of Milanese canal culture with an onboard aperitif featuring your choice of drink and light bites.

I don't recommend doing it: it lasted 20 minutes less than scheduled.
