Wonderful tour. Our tour guide Francisco was very informative and was interactive with our group. The tour was approximately 2 hours but as our tour ended with Francisco at the Doge’s Palace, we continued with a gondola ride with Nicole. The walk to the gondolas was very informative as well a nice 30min ride.
