Kayaking the canals was an awesome experience. There are 2-seater and single kayaks available. My partner and I went in the 2-seater which can be slightly difficult to navigate the canals with how long it is, especially around tight corners and the occasional speeding motorboats, but it was absolutely doable. Our guide navigated us safely; otherwise, it’s nice to paddle the canals.

We actually did not go on the tour bc we got to our hotel much later than we expected. But the company was very responsive, tried hard to find a substitute time for us, gave us good directions and so on. Unfortunately we had other things scheduled and could not go at another time from the original plan. We were disappointed to miss the activity, but the company seems very good based on our communications.

First, about the tips: about the meeting point, kayaking is in an office, you can enter the street oriented and look for it. Also, don't worry about your belongings: in the office there are secure lockers with keys. If you want to experience the quiet and peaceful side of Venice, don't miss this opportunity! I didn't have any real kayaking experience and Marco was extremely patient and kind with me and the two tour mates. It was 2 hours knowing a residential part of Venice with historical explanations and points of view of a local. The experience was simply incredible. Marco was an excellent guide and the tour was worth every Brazilian penny I brought from home hahah
