Tamarah K, Mar 2017

The guide was great, however, the tour was very full for the streets of Venice. It is hard to get around with a group as large as this one. The headsets did not work great so a lot of what was being told was lost. If you were at the back of the group you got very little information. I would recommend the guide but it should be a limited number of participants.
