… especially if you’ve never been to Venice. It’s a truly beautiful and fascinating place, but very busy, crowded and expensive, so one day is all you need to get the full experience and this tour does the trick. My wife and I had been before 10 years ago and the only things that we found that were different this trip was that there was more trash (every can was overflowing) on the streets and more pickpockets. But, be careful and you’ll be fine.
It’s a very long day, with 5-6 hours on a bus, but you get a quick 30-45 minute tour by a professional guide on arrival and the rest of the day to eat, take a gondola ride with full serenade and explore on your own. We thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend.
