Ghosts of Venice - Das Unbekannte entdecken

Das erste, was unser Guide sagte, war „Ich sollte nicht hier sein“. Der reguläre Guide war krank, also sprang er ein. Es gab nur ca. 3 - 4 Stopps mit Geschichten, und nur ein paar davon würden sich als „Geistergeschichten“ qualifizieren. Wir eilten von einem Ort zum nächsten und die Geschichte war schnell erzählt, ohne jede Art von Ausarbeitung. Nur die Fakten, und unsere 90-minütige Tour endete 15 Minuten früher. Wirklich enttäuschende Erfahrung insgesamt und unser Guide sah erleichtert aus, als es schloss. Hoffentlich ist der regelmäßige Guide viel besser. Würde ich nicht empfehlen.

This is overpriced and limited quality (no offence to the guide). 1. Told to meet 15 mins beforehand but there was no guide to meet us. Left wondering if we were at the right spot. At the start time I had to approach the ticket collection booth and ask and then a guide came out. Also it needs to be clearer that you must approach the booth to collect your ticket. 2. The guides English was average. She sometimes struggled to find the right words and got it wrong which changed the meaning of the story completely (although she did correct herself after). 3. There were no headsets so it was hard to hear, especially in crowds or whilst walking. 4. The stories were average and lost any impact they may have had if delivered more excitingly. I would not spend $100 au on this experience in hindsight.

We have done a few ghost and night tours around Europe and the guides vary from place to place. Unfortunately this one lacked energy. There was no hearing devices which I believe is a requirement in Venice these days. It looked like the guide had a bag full but was reluctant to hand them out. The guide did not make themselves very obvious at the meeting point and you had to hunt around to find them. No discernible marker or flag to follow when walking around. This was the guides first time and she was very nervous and a bit timid. The guide spoke very softly which made it hard to understand what she was saying, particularly anywhere near other people. You had to really listen hard to hear what was going on. There were some good stories but the guide lacked any real energy to tell them. We got to one point at the end and apparently there was a gruesome story but she said no she wouldn't tell it as it was too awful and gruesome. I believe if you are on one of these Ghost tours you expect these things, not an apology for not telling a story. I have been on much better tours and would not recommend at this time.
