A great way to see the canals up close. - My husband and I did this in a two person and that worked well for us. The first 10-15 mins of the trip is just outside the canals in the lagoon and a little rough, so having two people towing was helpful even though we have both rowed many times in the past.

Fabulous experience in Venice - This was a brilliant activity and Alexandria, our guide, was so lovely, friendly and made sure we had the perfect experience. We visited areas of Venice that we would never have seen if we were walking and it was so lovely to see parts of Venice from our kayak. I would highly recommend this tour.

An Unforgettable Venice Experience - Thank you for my best experience in Venice! Everything was very safe, very friendly, and very interesting! Paddling a kayak through the canals by myself, paddling a kayak through the lagoon by myself—this experience is unforgettable. Alexandra knows so many interesting facts about the city! This is a completely different level of experience compared to being a passenger in a gondola. I choose only this!

Uniquely enjoyable afternoon in Venice! - I was looking for a novel way to spend a spare afternoon in Venice, and the Cultural Kayak Class hosted by Aleksandra was perfect! It was a truly unique way to enjoy Venice and learn a bit about the city’s history and architecture. Aleksandra’s enthusiasm for boating and Venice is awesome, and she was a wonderful guide. Having visited Venice several times, this was certainly one of my most favorite experiences. Thanks so much for an incredible afternoon!

110% recommend - We loved the advanced kayaking tour with Aleksandra! She was so friendly and welcoming, and took the time to show us the special sights on the Venetian canals while also getting in a good work out. It was a pleasure to meet her and Nicolo. 110% recommend - much better than a gondola!

Unforgettable and really professional - The cultural kayaking was excellent, the guide was very knowledgeable and could adopt the itinerary to our level, which we really appreciated as we are experienced kayakers and wanted more! Great job, thank you Cao Rio!

Kayaking in Venice - We had an amazing kayak tour with Cao Rio on the Venice canals. Great to experience canals that can’t be reached by foot and seeing the buildings from a different perspective. Nick was a fantastic guide, very informative about the history of Venice. Highly recommend this trip.

Met all expectations and more - Superb discovery of Venice and its history with a passionate guide. Thanks to Nicoló and Aleksandra. They take the time and don't make us feel like strangers in a tourist trap, we haven't had this feeling any other time in Venice. Small group of 6 kayaks navigating between gondolas and other boats. Splendid photos included in the price.

Great way of seeing Venice, but the minimum experience in kayaking is required. - This is a great way to see Venice from unusual angle and to get the real feeling of the city. You see how this amazing city functions, you see the buty of the old buildings....unforgettable. This is also a good way of combining some physical activity with site seeing. However, I have to give a warning here: in order to have a pleasant and enjoyable trip, you must at least to be able to keep your kayak on course and do the basic manoeuvring without a problem. In other words, you should have at least few hours of kayaking under your belt. The kayaks we used in a tour were a kind of large white water kayaks, 1- and 2- seaters. They are stable, easy to manage, but the technique they require is closer to a white water paddling (no rudder).

Don’t leave your camera behind - The actual tour was great and the staff was friendly. All of us on the tour were told that we had to leave our waterproof bags and phones behind, it was very strongly insisted. Total BS, we missed the chance for fantastic photos from a really unique perspective. The guide took his and did take a few posed pictures of us but I was very disappointed at missing the chance to take my own. Also none of us had sunscreen or snacks, just a single water bottle each. The paddling was at a pretty fast pace through tight crowded canals and some extremely choppy and congested open water. Definitely worth doing, but take a small waterproof bag with your own camera/phone.
