    Enjoyed the view of Venice from the boat… guide was pleasant and very informative with some really solid info on the workings of the canal etc, however, at times had difficulty hearing her voice which also made it difficult to understand, but overall a very good experience!

    Our guide was great, finding the ticket office was easy, exchanging coupon voucher for tickets went very smoothly. Tour was complete round trip of grand canal with excellent commentary by fluent and very understandable english speaking guide. Great overview of Venice.

    Thoroughly recommend this trip. A beautiful boat with a small group of people made the experience feel very special. An excellent way to view Venice and learn more of its history, even if a little difficult to hear the guide at times, this did not however detract from the tour of this stunning city.
