A very pleasant trip - We made the trip because interested in this experience and visit the Palladian Villas: the result was great. The guides were very kind and professional, the navigation quiet and deserving (we enjoyed views of the landscape that we could hardly admire by other means). The Commander and his crew complied with all schedules. Highly recommended

Beautiful experience - Today we lived this pleasant experience in a day with the weather decidedly adverse, so much so that it was not possible to embark in Padua, but we could do it only after the visit to Villa Pisani. Despite the bad weather the navigation was pleasant, also thanks to the Commander and the sailor, always attentive and capable. We visited, after Pisani, two other wonderful residences and we arrived in Venice, with some small changes in the program. But the added value on this day was the very good Guide Silvia. Very prepared, she illustrated in a pleasant and nice way everything we visited and everything we saw while sailing, she answered with punctuality and kindness to every question that was asked, but she went well beyond her role escorting us to the Venice station and on arrival in Padua, on an evening of heavy rain, she guided us to the parking lot to recover the car. Thanks Silvia if we will have a great memory of this day and also thanks to her.

Highly recommended - Everything perfect: from the millimeter organization to Silvia’s Super Guide who with extreme professionalism led us to discover villas, gardens, itineraries and breathtaking views. Choose the itinerary from Padua to Venice because the arrival in the lagoon in the afternoon is breathtaking. It is suggested not to stay in Venice because of excessive prices and very poor services, better to return to Padua by train thanks to frequent and low-cost trips.

Emotions and relaxation between nature and art. - We leave early, but the day spent on Burchiello is worth the uplift. The boat proceeds slowly; in the silence and coolness of the morning, you can enjoy the beauties of nature (lilies, herons, cormorants...). You relax and meanwhile a Guide, very good and very kind, tells the history of the places, illustrates the buildings that can be seen along the banks, the operation of the locks. Next to us parade many villas and eyes run on details, on their magnificence or modesty. In the morning, we go ashore to visit two (Villa Pisani and Villa Widmann) and in the afternoon a third (La Malcontenta...a masterpiece). The visit is always guided, but there is also some free time, to review details or wander around alone. One hour lunch break. Restaurant to book in advance, with a set menu at a good price, or, independently, sandwiches (there is a square with some benches) or bar and pizzeria a few minutes from the pier. When you are almost tired of sailing so quiet, here is the lagoon, the waves and the city of Venice that is getting closer and closer... a unique emotion... We were lucky, as the group was small and, as a result, the climate on board was relaxed, slowly becoming more sociable. It's definitely an experience to do.

A day on Brenta - A day well spent visiting three beautiful Venetian villas and with the support of Silvia, our tour guide, we knew and deepened many things about Padua, Palladio, Venice and its gondoliers. Esperienza consigliata!

unforgettable day - Pleasant day with visit to 3 of the most beautiful villas along the Brenta, widely illustrated by multilingual guides. Particular praise to Guide Francesca (trilingual) who on the boat provided a lot of information about the villas not visited and the canal. I would have liked more time to visit Villa Foscari, however you have enough time to take pictures. Wonderful Villa Pisani with its large park. Very welcome air conditioning on the boat and possibility to admire the landscape even on the outside. Exciting arrival in the beautiful Venetian lagoon with the suggestive skyline and the numerous islands. The only downside is the somewhat high cost. I highly recommend this excursion.

Riviera del Brenta - Nice experience, a day traveling between Padua and Venice, immersion of beautiful landscapes and beautiful villas, the boat is comfortable enough.

Boring - Full day excursion from Padua to Venice. For what it offers I would say expensive, boring guides, repetitive and with no chance to ask questions (I wonder what feedback they can get from guests). We did not use the lunch (brought from home) but hearing the judgments of other tourists we did well. Too long and uninvolving, I wouldn't do it again.

Piacevole - I state that in the past I had sailed on the Canal du Midi in France so for me it was not the first experience of sailing on a canal. The navigation is slow and pleasant in my case we left from Villa Pisani because the boat could not leave from the Portello so we were transferred by bus for the first piece. The thing that excited me was definitely arriving in Venice from the lagoon, as for the villas I would have liked to visit the garden of Villa Pisani but it was not possible while I found the Palladio Villa unmissable... a little gem. As for lunch I opted for Ca’ Feteria, very close to where we arrive for the break and where Arianna, very nice lady, prepared us many appetizers and an amazing spritz at Cynar cuddling literally, we then had plenty of time to return to the boat and reunite with other travel companions. In conclusion with the premise that I made immediately I did not find the experience exciting but pleasant yes, on the way back walking through the streets of Venice and passing to see the work of Bansky I could reach the bus stop and return to Padua without difficulty.

Not recommended. Expensive and too long and uninvolving - Long route (from 8 to 1730) in which we visited three villas. Otherwise very boring with repetitive views where the passage in the locks was given as a great attraction... (If even one had not known them, after the first ...) The comments of the unengaging guides that did not stimulate our curiosity to know more. Disproportionate prices, for the day 130 euros each where even a little water is not included. The last section is changed boat passing to one that becomes practically a regular and that does not enter anything interesting in Venice. The lunch they suggest is not recommended as there are several alternatives on site for a quick meal and for less. The villas not all of equal interest, are only partially visited compared to the comparison of visitors that we saw turn independently. Conclusion not advisable
