We had a wonderful time with Monica. The bike tour was designed to have just the right amount of ride and rest to allow us to see the countryside and relax. She even gave us wonderful tips about sites in the area to see - in addition to history and interesting facts along the ride. We highly recommend this trip!

Fun day in countryside

Shaune_H, May 2024

Our tour guide waited for us as we missed the 1st boat. It was an easy ride along canal to our 1st stop at a neighborhood bakery. Later we visited a Villa and heard about local way of life. Had good lunch at end of ride. Highly recommend.

Beautiful way to see more than just the city

Great family activity.

This was a very fun day. It was wonderful to see the countryside outside of Venice. Gianni was a great guide. We made stops along the way and enjoyed the local places. My favorite stop was his home, a lovely B&B right on the river. It was very relaxing.

Perfect day!

What a wonderful day with had biking through towns and the countryside with our fabulous host! Gianluca was prompt, enthusiastic, and an all-around lovely human being! He managed to impart useful historical knowledge while also giving us time to take in the beauty of our surroundings. We set a pace that was manageable and relaxing while also covering a good amount of ground. We finished with a lovely lunch that also catered to the food allergies of one of our group. We've not stopped talking about this bike ride and how much we've enjoyed it. What a memory, thanks to the kindness and spirit of Gianluca.

So we really hope to meet you again on a future bike tour!!! Anyway we encourage you to live your review also on TripAdvisor page to be posted on that site. Thanks a lot again!

Gianluca was a great host. The day was very hot but, he ,managed to have enough stops for cooling down. He was very knowledgeable of the sites we visited and accompanied us right to the end of the trip where we had lunch and took the bus back to Venice.

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Thanks for your review! On these hot days we try to make more stops to get a rest and drink water. Thank you again and hope to see you again the future!

The tour owner and operator...

We had our own private tour, just the 3 of us and John. It was SO nice to get away from the busy city and bike through towns along the canal. We had a wonderful time.
