THE DIRECTIONS IN THE EMAIL ARE NOT THE DIRECTIONS OF THE DAY!!! While our guide was very pleasant and we enjoyed him. We were late meeting him and missed the gondola ride- so we had to pay for that all over again.
We followed the meeting place directions in the email but the texted meeting place was over 30 minutes away. No one indicated in the text message that the meeting place was different.
Additionally, the new meeting place required us to navigate through all of Venice without ever having been there before. With the crowds and the complexity of the streets, this was unrealistic. Additionally, the GPS signal is limited on the streets.
