Walking tour during the week

Stephan_H, Jun 2021

Nice tour to the city of Venice. We made the tour on during the week and it was excellent. Antonella was a nice tour guide and explained everything we want to know. The gondola tour took approx 20 to 30 minutes. So if you are the first time in Venice take the tour to get an idea what you would like to see.
