“This tour was quite good. The guide I think her name was Barbara was very informative and pointed out interesting details that we would not have learned on our own. The Rialto market was interesting, and the wine and snack stop at the end was a lovely way to end the tour. The tour group all sat around a large round wooden table and had time to get to know one another before leaving on our own time. The only thing I would add is perhaps a map of where we had been so we could go back and explore the locations a bit more.”
