Transportation to the activity was us walking there, and that was fine! Google maps came in very handy with the winding walkways and narrow alleyways. Our tour guide was very pleasant and told us a little bit about the history of the city and the special sights to take note of.

We had a wonderful relaxing gondola ride, after quite a stressful time getting to the spot (our fault, traveling into Venice for a day trip with two young kids in tow, just give yourself more time than you think. Our gondalier was excellent and although it doesn't come with a live commentary he showed us the top sights and expertly guided us through quiet and busy canals
