Has anyone taken the Brenta Canal Villa Tour from Padova to Venice? Any comments or recommendations?

I would love to do Brenta Canal as well so would be keen to hear also.
Love Padova. Love Vicenza. Love Palladio. Love Veneto wines.

Yes, David, I have taken that tour. There are two companies with very similar offerings. I can't remember which we used; but I'm guessing that if you do a search on Tripadvisor, you can get ratings for each. All in all, it's a great experience. It's a wonderful way to see the villas without any hassle about figuring out transportation, and our guide was terrific. With hindsight, however, I might have been satisfied with one of the half-day tours. The problem for us was that we hit rush hour traffic on the bus ride back to Padova. We arrived back close to 8 P.M. Since the tour had started off at 8:30 A.M., it made for a very long day. Just something to consider.
