5.00The only challenge we had was that the driver didn't speak much English and wasn't able to answer questions we had about things we saw en route to our destination. He was early to pick us up which was great as we disembarked early. The drive was beautiful.

5.00Gondola ride. Rialto bridge. Nice stop for a drink. And of course our wonder guide Claudia I can’t say enough about how wonderful Claudia was. She interacted well with our daughter and son in law but also was aware of my husband’s difficulties with stairs. She really knew Venice and tried to keep us out of crowds as much as possible.
