Birding with E-bikes Lio Piccolo - Valerio was a great communicator and knowledgeable on so may topics. We wanted to experience life outside of the bustle of Venice and birding the Lio Piccolo was perfect. He arranged the bikes, helped us navigate the water bus, had a great sense of humor and knew birds. He followed our pace and we had a great experience.

Lio Piccolo - unknown to many and full of surprises - For May 2025 I planned my holiday, again I went to Venice and the Lido di Venezia. Not without first contacting Valerio and looking for trips together. This time I decided to do a half-day tour "Birdwatching" in the lagoon of Venice. Lio Piccolo was previously unknown to me, nor had I visited the region around Punta Sabbioni. With 3 ladies from Arizona we started our excursion - at the SME on the Lido - by boat to the starting point of the bike tour - Punta Sabbioni. Valerio, as always, proved to be a sensitive, multilingual and charming guide who, with his broad knowledge, left no question unanswered. At the port we were able to take over the bikes (good quality!) and then we started. The first few kilometers we drove through civilized territory, during small stops Valerio brought us closer to the region with small stories. But then it was pure nature. To the right and left of the track, the lagoon spread, with smaller and larger water areas. The tour is not called "Birdwatching" for nothing besides the ubiquitous seagulls, we could see pharaoh ibis, silk herons, grey herons, cormorants, brandy geese, the stilted herons (Ital. Cavaliere d'italia) and of course admire the much-awaited flamingos. As if in flight, the 25 km we covered in total passed. And there were not only white flamingos to see. as if staged with a good choreography, a beautiful pink flamingo flew over our heads. However Valerio had made this arrangement... For a change, a handsome fox also made his appearance, looking for mice in the artichoke field. I can recommend this tour with Valerio to any nature lover. You'll be thrilled. It's definitely me, and so were the three from Arizona. Bis bald Valerio - Marlies

Biking adventure with Valerio! - Valerio is AMAZING! We had the best time with him. He knew so much about local history, nature, and Venice in general! We felt like we got a bit of everything on this tour - between taking in the views on water bus from Venice, biking through Ca’ Savio, and some great birds (including the falmingos!). Valerio took us to some great local stops in addition to the fun bike ride through the lagoon. If you love biking and nature, this tour is for you!
