Paddle through Venice with Venice Kayak, a guided tour that puts you on the water instead of the crowded bridges. Glide along quiet canals with a local guide who shares the city's stories, ideally as the sun sets.
Full description
Venice Kayak takes small groups out on the water in sit-on-top kayaks led by a local guide who explains the city while keeping the group safe. Tours typically run about two hours and cover quieter canals away from the main tourist hotspots, giving a view of the palazzi and bridges from water level.
Reviewers highlight the knowledgeable, easygoing guides and single out the sunset departures as especially atmospheric. It suits couples and anyone wanting an active, less conventional way to see Venice, and some visitors have ended up with a private tour on quieter days.

By far the best thing I have done in Venice. You get a genuine sense of the city and what Venice is outside of all the tourists hotspots. I also learned more about Venice in 2 hours than i had over several days. Truly a 5 star experience and thank you Matteo.
