Sehr kompetente Reiseleiterin perfekt mehrsprachig und mit ausgezeichneten Kenntnissen zu den Villen und zur Geschichte Venedigs im Allgemeinen.
Gute Organisation der Tour. Mittagspause für die Teilnehmer, die das Menü bestellt haben etwas kurz, aber im Hinblick auf die übrigen Teilnehmer und die Länge der Gesamtfahrt wohl nur schwierig zu verändern, - eine 1/4 Stunde länger würde vielleicht schon reichen.
Insgesamt ist die Tour sehr zu empfehlen.

DO NOT BOOK. It regrettably marked the most challenging aspect of my two-week journey in Italy.
Initially, I had reserved a total of 12 seats on a boat voyage from Venice to Padua for my family, with a scheduled departure at 9 AM. My family and I, burdened with luggage from various hotels in Venice, arrived at the dock five minutes behind the designated time. Personally, I had arrived at 8:45 AM, only to be greeted by a rather disconcerting scene. The tour guide was on the brink of departing without us, fostering an atmosphere fraught with stress and tension. Her demeanor lacked friendliness and understanding of our predicament. The confirmation email address was wrong to begin with, the general address took us to a dock that was not accurate on Google or Apple Maps. Moreover, she claimed that the booking email had indicated an arrival time of 8:40 AM. It was only after meticulously sifting through a slew of confirmation emails and scrutinizing an extensive 8-page PDF outlining the trip details that I stumbled upon the 8:40 AM arrival time, while all other correspondence consistently mentioned a 9 AM departure.
The voyage got off on the wrong foot due to this initial unpleasantness. However, it was during the subsequent 8-hour excursion that the boat's captain and the tour guide truly demonstrated their unfriendliness. They continued to treat our group with a palpable lack of courtesy throughout the entire journey. Their behavior included disdainful glances and thinly veiled, passive-aggressive remarks regarding our adherence to the designated boat return times. Additionally, the scorching 97-degree weather exacerbated our discomfort, and the boat's air conditioning proved inadequate. Despite having an 87-year-old member in our party, they denied us the option of closing the boat door to retain some of the precious cool air. Furthermore, my brother, who suffers from a sleep disorder, was not permitted to rest on the boat during the one-hour disembarkation period.
An uncomfortable and unpleasant experience.

È stata una bellissima esperienza; abbiamo passato una piacevole giornata accompagnati da una guida molto preparata che ci ha accompagnato nella visita alle Ville e nella descrizione del percorso lungo il fiume, illustrandoci il funzionamento delle varie chiuse e dei tanti ponti girevoli. Una gita che consiglio di sicuro.
