Thank you for the very nice, incredibly sweet and varied tour. It was very nice, because we also found details that cannot be found in travel guides. were told. Thank you again for the very loving care. We liked it very much and we would book it again at any time and recommend it to everyone.

Everything was perfect and the tour guide was very personable and very knowledgeable about the city. The marking alone according to the directions and meeting point is very irritating and not directly on St. Mark's Square but at the Doge's Palace by the two columns.
