Sant’Erasmo per Rad: Venedigs grüne Insel erleben

Thank you very much, dear Valerio. Coppo, the bike tour on Saint Erasmo was beautiful, cozy, and entertaining. You are a very competent and reliable guide. We will definitely come back to Venice and look forward to more tours with you. Ilse & Mario

By bike you can get around the whole island in no time. You can load your bike on the vaporetto in Treporti. You were there in 10 minutes. Spectacular view of the Venice lagoon. Lunch of fish at the restaurant "Al baccan".

What a special experience. From the crowded San Marco Square to the peace and nature of Erasmo. It was very educational and fun excursion!!

Since I regularly visit Venice and the surrounding islands, it has long been my wish to explore the island of Sant'Erasmo. Unfortunately, I had not yet found a guide for it. As luck would have it, I met Valerio through the recommendation of a good friend and he also suggested a bike tour of Sant'Erasmo. We met up with 9 other interested people at the Fondamente Nove and took line 13 to the island together. Although we were a very international group, Valerio, with his linguistic talent, jumped quickly between English and German, and a little Italian. It was a lively chat with a lot of factual content about the island, the Mose project, nature, vegetable cultivation - we learned a lot about artichokes in particular - and even beekeeping. Thanks to his good contacts, we met the sprightly Elio. He has been tending his fruit, vegetable and flower garden for decades. We were able to observe the busy work of the hardworking bees at the beehives that were spread out around the property and asked questions about the fruit and vegetables that were being grown. We were new to the fact that there are also black pomegranates, which only reach their full maturity at the end of the year. We were delighted to receive a glass of the delicious honey each. We continued along the lagoon with spectacular views of Punta Sabbioni, Treporti, Burano, San Francesco del Desorto and of course Venice. After we reached the center of the island with its church and supermarket, our 4-hour exploration tour came to an end. On the way to a picturesque bar/trattoria, we were able to visit the fortress tower built by Napoleon (not included in the program). Many thanks again to Valerio for being able to open doors that remain closed to others with his charm and natural manner. An association that keeps the island's old traditions alive is currently showing old textile handicrafts there. Well worth seeing! After we had strengthened ourselves with a nightcap in the bar, we headed back. We (I think I can speak on behalf of the group) thank Valerio for the uncomplicated, wonderful excursion. And I personally am looking forward to the next event together. Marlies, September 11, 2023

I enjoyed everything and look forward to repeating this wonderful experience. Valerio is a special guide who made us immerse ourselves in a magical atmosphere by cycling among artichoke fields immersed in the lagoon and visiting an unexpected honey-producing apiary. Venice is beautiful and after this experience we can not wait to return and see Valerio again. Thanks and see you soon!

If you want to experience the real Venice, then spend a wonderful day cycling around the islands in the company of my guide Valerio. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable ,but a great host and fun person to share this wonderful experience with. From cycling through the farmlands and vineyards to learning more about the world of bee keeping to watching the sunset with an aperitivo. It was a day never to be forgotten. I can't recommend both him and his tour highly enough.

Have you guys ever wandered in the little venetian districts? I don't mean the usual places we know of , but the small , secretive special secret streets that this ancient gem hides? Well I did, and I had a very special guide to do this : Valerio! A long bike ride in heaven crossing richly cultivated fields ❤️ Valerio is a great guide, super updated and so enriching in his narrative. He always wears a friendly smile on his face. Passion always takes it all! Thankyou so much, 110% recommended! Choose him for your venetian explorations!

The bike ride on San Erasmo with Valerio was a lot of fun, very relaxed and we got a new view of Venice and the lagoon. At the end we enjoyed a small wine tasting with a great view. Contact with Valerio was straightforward, the tour informative and cheerful and Valerio took great care of us. We can fully recommend this tour.

Leisurely cycling around this beautiful Island.Don't worry if you haven't cycled in a while - we found it very easy. Wine tasting by the canal was relaxing and enjoyable. We all absolutely loved the trip.Valerio is an exceptional guide and a very pleasant, knowledgable mman.Great trip!!!

We had a wonderful tour with Valerio. We booked the private bike tour of Sant’Erasmo and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Venice. He was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. And he went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. Everything was flawless, from the time we booked to the end of the tour and his communication was excellent throughout. I would highly recommend booking one of his tours and I will definitely be trying another of his tours on my next trip to Venice.
