Giulia was a wonderful tour guide! She kept our children engaged (ages 7 and 9) and recommended two excellent restaurants for lunch. We went to one, had an amazing meal and we’re able to get beautiful pictures by the water. The walking tour was nice too! Thank you Giulia and Venicetoursforkids! You made this tour memorable!
