Highly recommend - even with limited kayak experience! And you stay dry - This was an incredible tour. I’ve only kayaked very leisurely and very few times and this was still perfect! We stayed dry the whole time too. Our guide, Nicolo, was so knowledgeable about the history of Venice and it really was the best way to experience the city and the sunset. I highly recommend this sustainable tour option!!

Explore the city through the canals. - Was looking for an adventure to explore Venice with my college aged daughters. Niccolo was recommended as a local who loved the city and offered a unique way to explore the city from the water. Kayaking through the canals while being provided a history of how the city was built and the importance of manufacture in Venice was everything we hoped. An hour and 40 minutes of seeing how the locals navigate the town and traveling the waterways. The kayaks were safe and easy to utilize. Need a moderate amount of fitness, but the pace was casual and accessible. Niccolo provided photography services for our group. Definitely recommended.

Intimate, Peaceful, and Unforgettable – A Venice Must-Do With the best guide in town - JUST WOW. My boyfriend and I had a short trip to Venice, and this experience was hands-down one of the best parts of it seriously, don’t skip this! If you’re looking for something more personal and romantic (and way less touristy than a crowded gondola ride), this is the perfect choice. It was intimate, peaceful, and absolutely unforgettable. Instead of being packed onto a big boat or following the same old touristy routes, we got to paddle our own path through quiet canals, hidden corners, and breathtaking spots that most people in Venice never even get to see. It felt like we had our own secret adventure tucked away behind the city’s usual noise something special and totally our own. Our guide? A literal gem. Imagine if Italy itself had a son, that’s him. He was not only ridiculously knowledgeable about the city’s history, architecture, and waterways, but he also had this kind, welcoming energy that made the whole experience feel extra magical. He was patient and encouraging while showing us the ropes of how to navigate the two-person kayak, which made learning it actually really fun (and kind of a cute team exercise for us too!). One of my favorite parts was how he kept helping us get amazing photos — seriously, the man has a talent for angles and timing. I usually have to beg for good travel pictures, but not this time. He made sure we got all the dreamy shots with those postcard-worthy backdrops, and I was beyond happy with how they turned out. From gliding under quiet bridges to watching the light dance on the water while hearing stories of the city’s past, every moment felt surreal. We left not only with beautiful memories and cool new skills, but also with a deeper appreciation for Venice and its quieter, more authentic side. We will absolutely do this again next time we’re in Venice. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you. If you’re even thinking about it… just book it. You won’t regret it.

Definitely do this too! - Even if you’ve only kayaked a little, like my husband and I, this was a total blast! The guides are great and will adjust their tours to your ability. There was another couple that was clearly more experienced than we were, so the two guides split us apart and they went their separate way. So it was just us and our guide and it was GREAT! Venice is great for looking and eating, but sometimes you just want to DO something and I highly recommend you try this.

Authentic Venice on the water away from clichés - Far from the flow of tourists, an original idea to discover Venice, on the authentic canals, their palaces Nicolo the accompanist has a rich Venetian, historical, social, ecological culture. Very attentive to his customers. Not to be missed

Well worth the price,... - Well worth the price, exploring Venice from a kayak was incredible and probably my favourite thing we did while here. The guides were great, very friendly and knowledgeable with great English. Good kayaks too and spray skirts were provided.
