The guide was excellent. He gave us lots of information about the history of Venice. My only gripe would be to say he walked very fast and some people struggled to keep up with his. Perhaps this needs to be taken into account. The Gondola ride was beautiful. Very relaxing but it could have been even better had the Gondolier even so much as made eye contact with us. Had he been just a little bit cordial we would have given him a tip. That is not the fault of the guide or the tour company so overall this was a good activity

Unfortunately we couldn’t hear the lovely guide whilst we were travelling back down the Grand Canal…the reception was poor…but it didn’t spoil our overall enjoyment of the tour….and the guide was a joy.

I really enjoyed the event! First, there was a short city tour with a guide, then you get into a gondola with a group of four people, and at the end, there’s a small 3D tour of Venice.
