If you enjoy kayaking then youll enjoy this tour. We went when it wasnt too busy so there wasnt that many boats in the canal and water. We were in a tandem kayak but still managed to make the sharp turns. Itll be easier with a solo kayak for sure. The guides were awesome and funny and did a good job in guiding us through the canals while dropping knowledge and history of the city. The city is beautiful while in the water. Definitely worth the trip!

Omigod! Amazing. 10/10 would do again ina heartbeat. Lorenzo had a great knowledge, patience and was on-timenti start and finish. Definitely more fun with a smaller group- maybe boom private if you can. Favorite activity of my visit! Who needs a cocky gondalier when you can spend more time, more intimately in the canals on a kayak?!

Full description

The charm of Venice has always attracted people from around the world. In addition, its unique network of canals represents an important aspect of heritage for all of humanity.
Enjoy an amazing guided kayaking tour to appreciate the historical riches and cultural attractions that make Venice one of the world’s great treasures.
What particularly strikes many visitors is the close relationship between the earth and the water, a perfect symbiosis that often leads to Venice being identified with its lagoon. 
Within the city, the many canals and rii (smaller canals) are the vital links that carry Venetians and visitors to their destinations. They are at the heart of authentic Venice.
This tour provides the opportunity to explore the city from a special perspective, in a way that promotes sustainable tourism.
