We were fortunate to be the only people on the tour and our guide Alessia was very knowledgeable being a born and bred local The trip was so interesting that the hour just flew by and all too soon we were returning to land It was fascinating to see Venice from the water and to learn about it's history and the various measures they are undertaking to manage the flooding in the future If you're even remotely thinking about this tour I can highly recommend it
