Different from previous itineraries, a more in-depth journey - A great introduction. I have a deeper understanding of this ancient means of transportation and lifestyle. I will recommend it to other interested friends. You can choose this travel method. I believe it will be better.

Family trip with teens - Great short but informative tour. Great combination between history, canal tour on gondola and walking the small streets. Ricardo was our guide and he was great and perfect for our teen kids.

Poor gondalier - Probably was not tour company fault but gondola ride was only 20minutes, did not finish at st marks square were it was supposed to and because we had booked as a romantic gondola ride the gondolier was constantly shouting at his other gondolier friends. We actually told the tour operator how unhappy we were, they did offer us a guided group tour but as it was our last day could not take them up on it
