Hard to do better: Adapted, Interesting, Safe, In French, Nice... we want to come back! - We had planned a tour on Wednesday morning. Aleksandra convinced us to change and go out on Tuesday, late in the day, given the weather forecast the next day. We went to the Arsenal, then went to Murano, which we crossed via the big and small canal. The return was made by passing to the cemetery. We had the chance to see some pink flamingos. The welcome was perfect. Nicolò took the time to tell us about the different places visited as well as explain the differences between the boats that are in the warehouse. For security reasons, no camera! Instead, Nicolò made some pictures for us (with us...) that we received less than 2 hours later (link on a drive) Thank you for this beautiful excursion. in French (congratulations and thanks Nicolò!) We highly recommend Cao Rio!

Excellent 10 km kayaking class in the fantastic lagoon - I took the Naturalistic kayaking class for 10km in the lagoon. It is the highlight of my short winter trip in Venice. Fantastic nature, flamingoes, Alps with snow-capped peaks. I really enjoyed it and higly recommend!

Excellent tour with a different perspective of the city - 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!

Super Tour - It was a great sunny day and we went on a Naturalistic kayak tour with Nicoló. The tour was super, we enjoyed the beauty of the lagoon, Nicoló's stories and the chance to be so close to nature! We will definitely do it again when we come back!

Great experience for a family🥰 - We went kayaking with Nicolò as a family. We chose one of the Cao Rio tours for beginners. Not only that, but we found the place easily, were warmly welcomed, instructed, and went around the lagoon. A Venetian lagoon is stunning, we immersed ourselves in nature and enjoyed the beauty of the place. 2 hours is a very good format for a tour. You can learn a lot of interesting stuff, and it is not that hard to do. Absolutely for lovers of sports and nature!

Unforgettable experience - I went on a Naturalistic Kayak Tour tour and fell in love with the lagoon. It was my first time in a kayak, but I loved it: you paddle between the sandbars and see the birds! The instructor led the group very well and everyone listened and followed his instructions. I really enjoyed it. An unexpected adventure!

Awesome fun and a great way to see the area from a new perspective - I'm not a huge kayak expert but I decided that if there was anywhere to give it a shot, this was the place! This was a great choice, the Naturalistic kayak tour was a great way to feel connected to the whole area in a new way that most people never get to experience. The guide was great and its always good to see people working in tourism take both their jobs and their responsibility to the environment seriously (we picked up some trash that we saw.) Honestly if you're looking for something new and a chance to see things in a way that you will definitely remember, you should absolutely consider this tour!

A very beautiful tour in Venice! - A very beautiful tour! I was lucky enough to see flamingos as they took off, flying over our heads! Totally unexpected Venice, but I'm always looking for something special and I find it) Very grateful to guide Nicolò for such a discovery of the nature of the Venetian Lagoon!

Simply marvelous! - The Naturalistic kayak tour was fantastic! I am always looking for new experiences in new cities and places, and I was struck by the beauty of the lagoon and the chance to kayak through it! The guys in my group were young and active, we chatted after the tour, and it was nice to participate even though I am a single traveler. Then, I liked that Nicolò, our guide, pushed us to pick up the trash we saw in some places! He gave us gloves and bags. It was something that made me feel important to the city, that I can help even as a tourist! Very nice! Thank you!
