What people are saying about Veneto

Our guide was very considerate and looked after us well. We saw a good part of canals, some quiet, some busier and even were out in the open water of the lagoon a short while. Also we were told a lot of Information about history and architecture while going through the canals. We enjoyed it a lot.

Great way to actively explore the canals. Tour guides are super nice, have lots of interesting information and are well organized. We felt safe at all times because the guide takes good care of you and adjusts the pace individually. An absolute must for me!

Very nice tour with stops in several caves and a break at a beautiful beach. The weather on the originally booked date was not good, we were able to postpone the tour without any problems. Great experience.

Complete shambles at the beginning due to over booking by Air BnB & Get Your Guide however the guides sorted it out & showed great flexibility. Wonderful tour

Interesting, educational, fun and a bit exhausting
