See you next time Alessandro - Amazing couple of hours in Venice! Speeding around the Lagoon in the sunshine and Alesandro was so passionate about the history. Showed us some places off the tourist trail. Learnt so much about Venice in 2 hours. Worth every penny!! I hope to be back one day and will be booking with Vidal Venice Tours! 💖
