Boating from Padova to Venezia - I really enjoyed the trip via the Burchiello boat from Padova to Venezia. It was a slow but magnificent way to take a bite of the hidden beauty and old tradition. The boat crew and guide are all very nice and knowledgeable, providing very good introductions of the route and the attractions. Highly recommend it to people who like slowing and deep travelling.

A wonderful experience!! - A fantastic experience!! The villas we visited were fascinating, rich in history and beauty. Very good and prepared our guide Silvia, who helped us discover the wonders of these treasures of yesteryear. The navigation was pleasant, also thanks to the sun that accompanied us throughout the journey.

FANTASTIC TRIP - Beautiful and interesting trip through the landscape of the beautiful Villas of the Riviera del Brenta. Visit to three villas, all with a very good and professional guide. Great lunch and exciting arrival in Venice across the lagoon. Experience to do, I recommend it very much

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.

Too bad about the restaurant - Nice experience! Great organization and good guides. Also good on board staff, clean and welcoming boat. The only drawback is the restaurant, where we ate in a very modest quality. Good service, but shame about the quality of the food. Overall it is an experience that I recommend, for the meal perhaps better to have lunch not in the partner restaurant, but being careful not to overrun in time.

Nice outing, but... - We greatly enjoyed the navigation, the visits to the villas and the priceless arrival in Venice by water. Ma. But, much less we appreciated the self-righteous and pedantic attitude of the guide. Finally, the sorting and delivery of luggage to its destination has been totally disorganized.

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
