Venice to Mantua

We very much enjoyed our barge and bike trip from Venice to Mantua. Sylvia, our guide was outstanding, very knowledgeable and knew many people along the route and included a number of “surprises” and unexpected visits. She kept the whole group engaged, 20 of us, quite a feat. The e-bikes were of high quality and made any distance easy to accomplish. The barge crew (2 cooks) and captain were also great and entertaining, the food was excellent. They all looked after us well. The scenery, small towns and stops were all very interesting, a part of Italy with lots of history (all 5 stars). The only negative is the barge itself which is dated, it needs refurbishing and was not up to the standard of the other Boat Bike trip we have taken.
