  Lovely day trip! It’s a long but interesting and relaxing boat journey. Our tour guide was charming, knowledgeable, and had very impressive language skills, giving the tour in three different languages. Would recommend the tour to anyone interested in architecture with the time to spend while in the Veneto Region.

• Experience greatly improvable.

  I would say it's worth trying as it is culturally and scenically very interesting, but the experience is poor in terms of organization, from many points of view. Attention, there is no way to procure water or food along the way, I recommend bringing something with you. For the cost of the experience, there could be more comfort on board; offering a snack or a drink would be appreciated. If it is sunny, you will die of heat; in case of rain, everyone is closed inside: a canopy would be advisable. Moreover, the visits to the villas are of a very short duration compared to the navigation time, which is not clearly stated in the description on the site. The fact that the schedule is very tight does not allow enough time for the guide to best illustrate the villas. With some adjustments and precautions, it could really become an enjoyable experience.

  Very hot, slow, long, and expensive boat trip with just three house visits. The guides are good and nice.

• A new perspective on Venetian Villas

  I already knew the Villas of the Riviera del Brenta, but navigation allows you to admire them from a new point of view. Very welcome the explanations of the guides, who have shown great knowledge and love for their work. Very friendly cabin crew, as well as the office workers who provided us with all the information for the return and assisted us in booking lunch. Organized trip in detail, I can only recommend it!!

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Fascinating cruise on the Burchiello

  The cruise with the Burchiello was a fascinating experience and rich in culture. The motorboat is modern and elegant, you sail slowly along the river, the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant accompanied by expert guides who tell the story of the sumptuous Venetian Villas that you meet along the way. Stops are well organized even lunch is of good quality and served with courtesy.

  Very interesting experience, very good multilingual guides, excellent quality / price for a cruise that lasts the whole day with three stops with a visit to the three most important villas of the Riviera. Good lunch, very easy return thanks to the directions and the short distance that connects Padua to Venice (about forty minutes by train).

• Disappointing outing

  Experience far below expectations for the following reasons:delay of an hour and a half to departure with disruption of the entire trip. Overcrowding of the motor ship with people who have occupied without right the whole way the unnumbered place not allowing an important exchange for the vision of the landscape and villas. Visit of the last villa done at crazy speed (about 20 minutes). The only thing to save is the professionalism of the guide who tried to save the salvageable.

  We were partly disappointed by this trip last Saturday, October 3 in the afternoon from Oriago to Padua the reviews and descriptions of the tour enticed us a lot and despite the cost we booked but the latter should have gone only to the only guide who worked so hard to be able to describe and inform us about what was flowing in front of us, thank goodness for her the boat flowed very slowly but really a lot. Well four languages Italian, French for a very small group, German for six people and English for two Americans.... consequence our language for most ITALIAN tourists carried out very quickly and badly because of microphone noise (sad as well as in our country as it happened for me even abroad the Italian language is always snubbed). The description of the villas we saw was time before or time after passing it was not always easy to combine the view with the description. Within the two villas visited the poor woman was unique for being always present in all the rooms of the beautiful Villa Pisani. Having requested the tour in Italian we would have liked a quiet explanation in Italian made calmly and with the possibility to ask questions or at least know that there could be the possibility of mixed tours so choose another system of visit. Applause to the guide but not to the organization. Tiziana and friends

• We took the tour on Thursday 2 October.

  We all sat on top deck as a family group. All was ok until lunch. On going to lunch we were told we could leave our bags on board. Ok We go to lunch and when we got back another group has taken our place!!!!! They could have stolen our luggage/ bags! Then this group( only paid for half trip and no lunch ) too our seats?! We had to recover our goods and sit separately downstairs! We DO NOT recommend this tour! Badly organized and put our private possessions at risk! We will try to get our money back as we were disgracefully treated

• Great tour with Burchiello along the Brenta from Venice to Padua.

  We had a perfect day. In addition to the great weather, Olympia, our tour guide, contributed significantly to this. Highly recommended!
