We had a great day cycling with Gianluca from Dolo to Venice and seeing the villas along the route. The majority of the route is along the river or small roads and Gianluca was a knowledgeable and very interesting guide. He even took us to his own house for coffee and a rest by the river. Wonderful day.

We have been to Venice several times so were looking for something different. We hired a beautiful wooden boat and had a wonderful time. The electric engine meant that it was quiet and there were no horrid fumes. We are not hugely experienced at driving a boat and are both well over 50, so there were occasions when the other traffic seemed rather larger and faster than we were but it was exhilarating nonetheless! Seeing the outlying islands, some of which are uninhabited, from the water was magical as was seeing some birdlife in the marshes. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Their environmental ethos and enthusiasm for their boats and what they do was infectious! We would thoroughly recommend this as an alternative thing to do in Venice. Thanks JP and other staff.
