Really informative guide with interesting facts. Small group in a busy environment but helped by the Bluetooth communication. Frederica was knowledgeable and passionate about her city.

We always enjoy learning about the place we're visiting, especially when we're in a small group and away from the massive crowds. The guide did a remarkable job keeping us entertained and away from the crowds.

Our tour was good. 5 star to our walking tour guide. derive a star for Gondola, not a word from our Gondola driver/guide. The process for getting our tickets was different than any other tours we have done. Confusing and a snippy gal at the window
