“Could have been interesting perspective of Venice, and we were looking forward to this; but unfortunately the other guests in the kayaks did not know how to navigate their boats, so we spent the entire tour trying not to run into the back/side of the other guests, or listening to the guide at first reprimand some of the guests for their poor navigation skills. We spent the first part of the tour trying to get the people who couldn’t kayak in front of the others in the group. Our guide said the additional guide that was supposed to help him was ill, so we had one guide for all of…”

“What an amazing way to see Venice. Loved this. Interesting info on the way but just getting to paddle about at sunset on the canals was so good. Definitely recommend.”

“Toph was an excellent expert tour guide. She was fun, energetic, and very knowledgeable. Be aware that canal kayaking is nothing like tamer lake or river kayaking. There are tight turns, narrow canals, and frequent traffic and obstacles from boats and gondolas. And be prepared to get wet!”

“Definitely recommended if you want to explore Venice differently”

“This was a brilliant activity and Alexandria, our guide, was so lovely, friendly and made sure we had the perfect experience. We visited areas of Venice that we would never have seen if we were walking and it was so lovely to see parts of Venice from our kayak. I would highly recommend this tour.”

“Imagine a guided walking tour through Venice by a really great and knowledgeable guide except you are in a kayak and paddling through the canals. That’s what this is and our guide Nicolo wasn’t just good at his craft, he’s a really good guy.”

“Mike was great- lots of interesting info, comfortable pace and just an all around great morning on the water.”

“We were met at the dock of Burano by Filippo, our tour guide and he gave us an unexpected walking tour of Burano as we made our way to the kayak launch. Our mother-in-law who is in her late 70's was with us but did not sign up for the tour since she thought it would be too much for her - Filippo offered to escort her on a two person kayak so she can sit back and enjoy the tour and take pictures - which she did. This was so kind of him and she loved every minute. I am not an experienced kayaker and I loved every minute…”

“This was such a unique way to see Venice. Our guide was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and its history. I would do this again”

“Prima afwisseling als je een paar dagen In Venetië ben Victorie maakt het nog specialer Prachtige ervaring”

“The guides were very helpful with kayaking techniques and gave us history of Venice while in peaceful canals. Highly recommend!”

“This was actually their cultural tour due to high winds making the lagoon tour unsafe, so I was refunded the difference in cash. The tour was excellent, very good guides and very knowledgeable! It was a very good way to see the city from a different perspective and probably a more Venetian perspective of being in the canal! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting Venice to book onto one of Cao Rio's tours. Hopefully, I will be back in Venice to do the lagoon tour!”

“Our kayak tour of Venice was the highlight of our stay there, largely two to the wonderful Tour leader, Boris, and the lovely night in which we paddled. It was an unparalleled experience.”

“I will do this again. Absolutely, fun and adventure. Guide was great, not enough good things to say. Just a FYI, the description is a bit confusing regarding your attire. Wear whatever you want, they give you clothes to wear. Take an extra pair of undies though, you will get a bit wet.”

“Great tour, a great and personable guide, very well organized, and had everything ready. There were short stops here and there with some insight into Venice. The trip was very pleasant, and seeing Venice from the water was beautiful.”
