Our guide, Valerio, was very personable and knowledgeable, and was able to provide access to three private gardens in Cannaregio otherwise closed-off to tourists. Additionally we went to a public park in Santa Croce off the beaten track which provided an interesting counterpoint. There was a reasonable amount of walking involved but we also were taken to some parts of Venice we hadn't previously been. We highly recommend this tour and Valerio.
