A restful, informative and beautiful way to travel between Venice and Padua. Our guide, Olympia, was kind, helpful and knowledgeable and made the visits to three villas excellent. There was nothing to criticise other than the lunch, huge portions but moderate quality. However, that was a minor issue since if you didn’t book lunch with the trip, there are other nearby places to eat. Not an inexpensive or speedy way to travel, taking all day whilst the train takes no more 30 minutes at a fraction of the cost, but if you don’t have the time the train is a good option, but would miss pretty riverside communities, beautiful countryside and a chance to visit amazing villas. Highly recommended.

A full day on the Brenta Riviera from Padua ending up with a cross largo entry into Venice landing almost at the doorstep of San Marco square. Thunderstorms for the start of the day 0800 - beautiful sunshine by 10.30 - landed in Venice about 5.15 - didn't really look at the time the entry into Venice was fascinating - and I've been to Venice several times. 28 people mostly Italian - 5 English speakers. Elsa our guide switched from Italian to English and back again with ease and her understanding of the 3 villas that we visited and the surrounding and adjacent countryside and river locks and bridges was more than comprehensive. The discussion on how the mathematics of the the Foscari villa informed the design of the of the Zaha Hadid sculpture added to our appreciation of her. Overall a great day.

Sadly we couldn’t start the cruise in padua as there wasn’t enough water in the canal. We had to walk to a bus and this took us to the first villa. Because of the disappointment a refreshment stop was added and another villa plus a shoe museum . We eventually picked up the boat, saw 2 more villas and then went into Venice. The canal bit was very uninteresting and once you’d seen one villa you had seen them all. I feel it’s a shame the company took our money the day before they told us there was no water. The ride into Venice was spectacular and our guide Francesca was knowledgeable and interesting and did her best to make the best out of a bad job. There was also too much ‘free time’ and the lunch which was extra was expensive.

Do NOT preorder the horrible fish lunch. We got sick from it. The food was all sitting out waiting for our arrival. Do NOT buy the water bus tickets (called Vaporetto or AcTV or City Bus) from Burchiello (offered at the end of the tour) to return. Most likely it will be too crowded and you won’t get on. If there’s room, it’s quick to get a ticket as you enter. Also, much faster private water taxi’s located at the dock may be available to the train station and airport. Danger on the boat right away as a passenger was hurt since the First Mate wasn’t doing her job ensuring the top deck passengers were following necessary safety actions. Not relaxing! A voice is constantly blabbing on the intercom repeating information in several languages nonstop during the trip. (Many times saying the same thing over and over in your language.) You can’t have a conversation with your friends/family as the loud speaker is a continuous annoyance. Not peaceful to enjoy the surroundings. It seems the tour guides feel their voices must constantly be heard. Solution: give the passengers headphones like museum tours do. Different channels for each language.

The river cruise is very beautiful, you see lots of beautiful villas from the boat and visit three of them. Silvia was the guide and she was really amazing: super informative, passionate and very efficient switching Italian, English and German and managing the trip. Since the trip starts pretty early and due to covid restrictions you wont have any opportunity for a bite till 13:15, you may want to make sure you have a breakfast before of take a sandwich with you. There will be coffee and water on board. If you want to see on the upper deck don't forget good sun protection.

Excellent river cruise and customer service. Villas are beautiful but you will spend about 20min at the most in each Villa. Lunch must reserve ahead of time for 30eur /meat full lunch. Tour ends in Venice very close to San Marcos square. Very hot day! In August

One of the lock gates malfunctioned so had to disembark DANGEROUSLY and combine 2 boats into ONE boat with ZERO AC and ZERO water because they did not transfer the water in 90 degree heat. Boat company refuses any refund or even just new ticket to do the trip properly!

An excellent and very relaxing mode of transport. Ideal to see magnificent palaces of a bygone era. Really worth the trip.

This is just a high quality tour no matter what one's point of view might be. The staff are skilled, helpful, and fun to work with, the villa tours are very well done, and all of the logistics work well. Individuals going on the tour should pay attention to the need to get back to Padova on one's own, as it can be a bit complicated, but the staff were great at explaining how to do that. I would recommend this tour highly.

Years ago, the Venetian aristocracy built their summer homes on the Brenta Canal to escape the city crowds. You can do the same with a boat cruise on the Brenta Canal which stops at three of these historic homes. To be honest, if you're going to Venice for the first time, for only a few days, then there is more than enough to do in the city itself and I would not recommend that you spend a day away from the city. But, if like me, you are in Venice for the second time, then a boat ride on the Brenta Canal is a wonderful way to escape the crowds for a day. The boat meanders along the canal and pass through 5 locks and under 10 bridges. The ride itself is fascinating, especially if you have never been through a lock before. And, the three homes, each from a different era in Venice's past, are interesting in their own way. We had a wonderful guide, named Laura, who provided expert insights into the history of the canal in English, Italian, French and German ! I recommend taking the cruise in the Venice to Padua direction as the grandest home is the last stop.
