    Our guide was super friendly and made the lagoon city very accessible to us. We learned a lot about the history of Venice and the gondola ride was a real highlight. Absolutely recommendable.

    Our guide, Andrea, was very knowledgeable. It was a very picturesque walk through the city. The gondola ride was very unique and a great photo opportunity.
