I can’t recommend this activity enough. I booked it for my husbands birthday, me and our 7 year old son came along too. It was absolutely fantastic, an incredible way to see the beauty of the lake. It felt safe and my husband thought the trike was pretty easy to drive. An experience none of us will forget and fantastic value for money - thank you!

We were two couples who planned to spend the day riding the trikes visiting different wineries and exploring the Bardolino wine trails. When we arrived at the gas station and saw the amazing trikes I noticed they were stick shift, not automatic. My fault, little girl who learned to drive in my parent's car, automatic. We were going to take two trikes, but only one of us knew how to drive a stick. The operator was prepared to refund all our money immediately, but we were all so saddened by the turn of events. As a means of pleasing us, he made a wonderful suggestion. He asked if we could come back in an hour, when his partner returned. They would then take us on a two hour tour through the mountains and along the lake. We all agreed and returned after a brief stroll through Bardolino for a light lunch. We never would have found the areas, roads and views we were treated to, had we driven ourselves. The trikes are great fun. If you know how to drive stick, or more accurately, a motorcycle, go for doing it, yourself. If not, I strongly suggest you do this for the two hour tour, as passengers. I took a live video at one point, but it's on a different social media. I will try to upload it or send it to the operator. Great fun!!!

We had a great day cycling with Gianluca from Dolo to Venice and seeing the villas along the route. The majority of the route is along the river or small roads and Gianluca was a knowledgeable and very interesting guide. He even took us to his own house for coffee and a rest by the river. Wonderful day.

We have been to Venice several times so were looking for something different. We hired a beautiful wooden boat and had a wonderful time. The electric engine meant that it was quiet and there were no horrid fumes. We are not hugely experienced at driving a boat and are both well over 50, so there were occasions when the other traffic seemed rather larger and faster than we were but it was exhilarating nonetheless! Seeing the outlying islands, some of which are uninhabited, from the water was magical as was seeing some birdlife in the marshes. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Their environmental ethos and enthusiasm for their boats and what they do was infectious! We would thoroughly recommend this as an alternative thing to do in Venice. Thanks JP and other staff.
