The best way to see Venice, and the highlight of our trip! I really recommend it if you want to experience venice from a different angle. We went on the full day tour, and stopped for lunch in the afternoon. We got to see both the famous places and the bigger canals, as well as smaller canals and the areas... More

We were a very mixed bunch. 2 seasoned sailors, 3 children aged 9 - 13 and some complete novices. We went for an afternoon tour. We felt completely safe in the kayaks - well kitted out in the waterproofs and lifejackets they provided. It was a calm sunny day in April, the water almost a mirror in some of the... More

Venice is a city on water and it should be seen from water. Then you will get the view of real Venice. And, being active and adventurous, we decided to go for kayaking. (Sitting in a gondola is not for us.) And it was amazing! Unforgettable experience! Thanks, Rene, for guiding us through those tiny canals and the Grand Canal.... More

You haven't really seen Venice until you've seen it from your kayak! Down tiny little waterways, ducking under bridges, passing gondola's....our teenagers thought this was the best part of our Italy trip. Even in the rain, Venice was truly magical and Rene was a fabulous, informative guide that brought Venice and it's amazing history truly alive. Even if you're not... More

We kayaked around Venice on a beautiful but cold day in February. It was truly a highlight of our trip and we saw the city in a completely different light. Unfortunately, due to an airline problem we were late but this didn't seem to faze Rene, our guide, who was friendly, highly knowledgable and professional. The tour started from Certosa,... More

The most unique and memorable way to see Venice is aboard a kayak. You go to places even the gondolas cannot. You will become the attraction all others want to photograph and the topic of conversation. Even the Italians will be jealous!

Our kayaking trip through the canals and lagoons of Venice was the absolute highlight of our vacation in Italy. Venice was on our bucket list and being able to see the city from this point of view was over the top. Loretta is a very experienced guide who led us along tiny picturesque waterways and safely through the Grand Canal... More

It's a very different way to see Venice and swooping by the bridges you stood the day before is a special feeling. Nothing like the normal Venice experience. We got both jaws dropped and some very envious looks from the tourists in gondolas. The whole booking things with pre-payment was a hassle but totally worth it. Marco was an awesome... More

Simply put, the most awesome way to see this city: from the water, directing your own kayak. Put this on your bucket list!

Definitely way more fun than a gondola. Some experience in kayaking is required. The guides, Marco and Loretta, are very friendly and helpful. You get to go through canals where other boats won't fit and you get a good work-out while doing so. It was the most fun we had in Venice and I would recommend it to anyone with... More
