    Lovely day trip! It’s a...

    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.

    Very hot, slow, long, and expensive boat trip

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

    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

    Thoroughly enjoyable way to travel by boat from Venice to Padua

    excellent guide and great way to understand Venice and Padova. The visits to three very different Venetian villas gave a good insight into how its elite escaped the busy city.

    A cruise through the countryside and time.

    This was a very well organized and professional tour. Our guide was terrific and explanations were given in Italian, French, and English. The county side is beautiful and going through the locks and swing bridges was great fun. The three villas we visited were incredibly beautiful. The water was high so were could not go all the way to Padua. Tour company arranged a bus to drop people at the bus terminal or the train station. This is a full day tour. The boat moves very slowly through the canal. Sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. You need to arrange your return to Venice or wherever you are staying. Tour started at 9 am and I was back at my hotel by 8 pm. I did not book lunch at the restaurant but found a cute local restaurant and had cichette. I highly recommended this tour to experience a different side of Venice.

    Full-Day Venice to Padua Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.

    How much does Full-Day Venice to Padua Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Venice to Padua Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Venice to Padua Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 82 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Venice to Padua Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Venice to Padua Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Venice to Padua Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise?

    +

    Around 29 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Venice to Padua Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Venice?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Venice?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Venice?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
