    Traveled as a couple

    The tour started with a 3D experience, which was an interesting way to see how Venice developed. The walking tour was very interesting and we visited areas that were different, which was fantastic.

    Our tour guide was pleasant throughout. Very knowledgeable and we gained a greater insight as to the history of Venice. Tour stops were interesting and offered plenty of photo opportunities. Good slow pace to cater for all. Well worth it.
