Walking tour of Venice - We had been on a cruise with various pots and multiple tour guides. This by far the best experience of all. Romy was very knowledgeable and brought us into each stop with background and interesting facts. This was the highlight of our three weeks in Europe. I recommend this to anyone who wants more than just the scenic tour of this remarkable city.
