It lasted 2 hours, we walked through very beautiful places and we enjoyed it. The road was pleasant. Valentina explained to us in detail in Spanish and English.

The guide was very competent and mainly reported on the difficulties of the local Venetians. We were frightened by the decline in the number of residents reported in Venice (about 100,000 in 1960, today 49,000) and the frightening takeover of shops and restaurants by the Chinese.

Surprisingly, I was the only one who had booked a German-speaking tour... and ended up with a 1:1 tour, actually a great thing, unfortunately I had the impression that the tour guide found it a bit tedious that I took a lot of photos wanted and stopped again and again... for them, of course, it wasn't an "individual tour". I found the quarters great, including the early start time at 9 a.m.
