Great tour / quizz! - We enjoyed the tour a lot! My 10 year old son was absolutely absorbed by the stories Kristina told us about the life in Venice and the palace. The tour was in a form of a quiz and that was very interesting for the child and for me, too)
I highly recommend this type of tour, esophagus with kids.
Our tour was in Russian.

I recommend it!!! - Christine is a very responsible and professional guide. I've only been in Venice for three days, one of which was devoted to field trips. Took a chance and booked 3 excursions at Christine's - Gondola Trip, St. Mark's Cathedral and Doge's Palace. And I never regretted it. The ease with which Christine shares her knowledge is admirable. I am sure that the tour with her will be useful and informative not only for those like me who visited Venice for the first time, but also for those who, having fallen in love with this city, return here again and again.
