Venice is magnificent but kayaking with our experienced guide was magical. Getting away from the crowds and having our guide show us the history and calm side of the Venetian lifestyle. It was the highlight of our trip. We will definitely do it again. Thank you

Dimitri’s kayak tour of Venice’s canals and the lagoon was absolutely amazing - it was the highlight of our time in Venice. You MUST take this tour whilst in Venice as it’s by far the best way to see the city - far more interesting and much better value for money than the gondolas. Dimitri is knowledgable, passionate and professional and made the tour an absolute joy - thank you so much Dimitri!

Dimitri was a great guide, he knew plenty of history surrounding the island. We would give it the full 5* if only the tour was a little longer! Great experience, wouldn’t want to share a kayak considering the price you pay per person.

This tour was really excellent. Our guide Giovanni, who spoke very good English, made me, my spouse and children feel extremely safe while taking us for a fascinating ride through the canals of Venice's Cannaregio neighborhood. He shared local history while guiding us around in modern, comfortable equipment. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Unable to go kayaking due to fog. Unfortunately, they did not notify us. So, we walked all the way there before finding out. It would have been nice if they had texted us.

I loved this tour after it was over. LOL! I would recommend having experience before you do this. It is not for the faint of heart. You literally kayak across the Grand canal with all the vapportos and motorboats. You feel very small in your kayak. You will also feel this the next day. I will say it was beautiful and a great experience. You get to ride down the smaller canals as well and see beautiful bridges and house. You also stop along the way for some history from your guide.
