Like a lot of others have said in the reviews, I could’ve done the same trip myself for a lot less. It was a little confusing getting everybody together to get on the train, and then I was the only one that had a seat in a different car. To me this defeats the purpose of traveling in a group. on the way back I was with the rest of the tour group. I personally found both the train stations in Rome and Venice very easy to navigate so you are slightly familiar with train travel in Europe, you may want to do this yourself and save the money . The train ride was long but comfortable, and it was nice to have the tour guide to give us an overview of what to expect in Venice. Venice was extremely crowded on the main streets and squares . Our tour guide did recommend where to catch a gondola that would give us a little bit nicer tour and keep us out of the main canal. While it seemed like the amount of time we had in Venice would be enough, it took considerably longer to walk around simply because of the crowds.
