5.00Our tour guide was a true local and her pride for Venice came through. Our guide was able to have us do our gondola ride first instead of last as the weather was supposed to get worse as the evening progressed. So glad she was able to rearrange the gondola ride.
Simply brilliant!

5.00Claudia was fabulous! We learned so much about Venice. She took us all around to places we hadn't been, and didn't even know were there and explained in great, but very interesting detail! Unfortunately our gondola ride had to be canceled due to the weather but the company will be refunding that part. This tour was our favorite part of our stay in Venice!
