4.00The ride was comfortable from Ravenna to Venice. I feel though the driver spoke no English and I had to use Google translate with her a bit for the long ride. Secondly, there was cancellation of another party transfer which cost us another extra 100 Euros (3 in our party).the tour guide,Claudia was excellent. We met her in Venice and enjoyed her company and disposition.
Wonderful! Exceptional
