“unkomplizierter, netter Ablauf freundlicher offener Wirt genau, wie wir es uns gewünscht hatten”
A 1-hour Venice lagoon cruise with guided commentary in four languages, passing San Marco, Giudecca, Molino Stucky, and San Giorgio Maggiore.
“there was no tent or flag or uniform to identify the tour in this very busy dock. the tour itself was outside the interesting parts of venice. the young lady narrating the tour spoke very fast in a heavy accent which made it difficult to understand.”
From the Basilica to the far lagoon — every experience, ranked.
