A beautiful day and experience thanks to two fabulous guides (Silvia and Elsa) who were able to tell us the history of the Burchiello and of the villas that are and were located on the banks of the Brenta, along with the history of their many noble and royal owners. Between manually operated or automated swing bridges and locks that are nothing short of spectacular... a history of artificial canals and lush natural bends... everything is green... and the most beautiful sight... leaving the river to arrive in Venice in the lagoon... the "jump" from the river to the sea... beautiful!

infectious enthusiasm for architecture and art
Translations into German were fantastic. A very dedicated, passionate person and actually a "total work of art" as well
Many thanks

Cruise on the Brenta Riviera from Padua to Venice
Extraordinary day spent in a setting of nature, history, and art. The slow and relaxing route helps one admire the naturalistic aspect, to wait for the time that this requires: the wait inside the locks, the opening or rotation of the movable bridges where, in some cases, human intervention is still indispensable. All while admiring the wonderful villas that one encounters along the banks, cheered by the detailed, precise, and punctual explanations of the professional guides Silvia and Chiara.
Silvia in highlighting some artistic and cultural aspects and Chiara in the ability to make us "live" that historical moment like ladies and gentlemen of that time.
It was a fantastic experience, I emphasize relaxing, rich in history and art. It made us rediscover realities still current that exist along a river route. We admired a naturalistic panorama accompanied by the beauty of the villas that overlook the banks and reflect in the mirror of the river's water, stopping and visiting some of them to admire their architectural and pictorial beauty.
Thanks again to our guides Silvia and Chiara.
Silvia finished the route with the group up to Venice and precisely provided all the directions for the return to Padua. A thank you for the pleasant navigation on the boat "Rialto" to Captain Luigi and to the deckhand Monica, a special thank you to the various "operators" who along the route turned and lifted bridges that allowed the passage of the boat and to continue our navigation which concluded, admiring from the lagoon and the Grand Canal the beautiful Venice.
Once again, a big thank you to everyone and
we recommend doing this wonderful experience; you return with eyes and mind full of beauty!!!

An experience to try!
Wonderful day, full of history and art. Very well organized. I was a bit worried that my 10-year-old son Lorenzo might get bored, but instead, thanks to our super guide Silvia, he had a great time and she captured his attention for all the visits we made! Highly recommended!!! A huge thank you to Silvia, our guide, Luigi the captain, and Andrea the sailor!

An experience I highly recommend!
A wonderful experience. Unfortunately, it was not super-perfect, because in Padua, navigation was prevented from the agreed point due to issues related to the shallows of the Piovene canal for natural causes, but the company still carried out the beautiful trip with a small bus transfer in the first stretch. Then everything went perfectly. The two guides who took turns were exceptional, both from a teaching perspective and a human one. An experience I highly recommend!

As good as I imagined
Great experience. Loved it. However, I would have preferred a smaller more intimate group. I was surprised at how many kings and queens stayed in these important villas . I highly recommend taking snacks and drinks and you will be sure to have a good time.

A day of relaxation and culture
An interesting experience from a scenic, architectural, and naturalistic point of view. But what made the difference was the guide. She took us on May 20th at 8 in the morning and until the evening at 6, she was tireless, very knowledgeable, and unflagging. The lunch was neither praiseworthy nor disgraceful. A trip to recommend.
