Wonderful trip to the nature on water - Had a tour in the morning, we were only 4 people and our guide gave us a wonderful tour. We got to know a bit about the less touristy islands which we didn’t even know. Even tho kayaking for 3 hours is very exhausting, we had a great time and it was really magnificent :)

Such a unique experience!!! See the lagoon of venice and the breadbasket of the venetian islands - This was a truly unique experience. My wife and I have kayaked in other countries but this was the most interesting. We got to see a part of venice that we would have completely missed. The lagoon is part of venice that too many tourists don't see and it's a pity as it's such a natural wonder. Valerio was a fantastic guide. He helped us understand the launching point at St Erasmo, which is incredible all in of itself, and then safely guided us in the kayak tour around the island to beautiful hidden spots and finally to a beautiful locals only beach. Valerio is a must to book as a guide if you want to see more of Venice than just San Marcos square!

Exciting and interesting, could hardly be any better! - I did this kayak tour around the Venice lagoon with two friends from the UK... a truly great time overall, and that despite some epic mosquito battles! Our guide Valerio was just the best you could ask for: - flexibility around the time and format of the tour, - perfect communication before and during - we had all the information, and in all the languages, - great instructions and care for safety when it came to the actual kayaking, - plenty of facts and anecdotes about the history of the different islands of the lagoon, - clear interest in providing us with the best experience - pictures, life-saving mosquito repellent, a beer stop, even an impromptu swim stop, - lots of suggestions for the rest of our stay, recommendations for places to go, - could hardly have been more engaging! Absolutely recommend :)
