Very good and interesting guide
Highly recommended. the most important points summarized
Highly recommended route
You have to arrive 15 minutes before; but if it says 8.45hrs; the agency arrives at 9 and leaves at 9.15h... If you are punctual, you will wait! The guide was good; apart from many facts, both historical and curious. She was one of the few Venetians still living on the island. Explanations with an ironic/acid tone that I like. Aside from being professional. Unbelievable how many people were in town! But it was carnival weekend? It still exceeded my expectations. I didn't do it, but the tour falls short, ideal to mix with Basilica or another tour of the rest of the neighborhoods; like Cannareggio or the Jewish Ghetto.
Very interesting tour, well explained, clear and pleasant tone. It was a little short.
