Most Popular★ 4.5

“Valentina is a very knowledgeable guide, and we enjoyed the tour. We felt we had just enough time to take in what we were seeing while learning some cool history. Recommend this tour! The gondola experience was slightly disappointing though. The seating wasn't stabilized and the gondolier was constantly on his phone.”
