Fun Day Tour but it felt a bit Rushed

This was a fun day tour that I think touched upon most of the Venice Hot spots. Our tour host was Grazia. I unfortunately felt a bit rushed by her at times, especially for lunch. I would suggest perhaps adding another hour to the tour to allow for more time for lunch and bathroom breaks. This was mu only issue. The tour was definitely informative and was an overall great experience for our first day in Venice

Highly recommend. Marco is a native. We ate lunch at the oldest cafe, They serve a great turkey and cheese panini and the tiramisu was good too. Vistor’s tip-public restrooms don’t open until 930 am. Plan accordingly!

This tour does exactly what it says, shows you the highlights of Venice in one day. The morning was spent walking around Venice by our knowledgeable guide. At the conclusion of the walking tour we had a 30 minute Gondola ride which was lovely. After this we had free time for lunch or whatever we wanted to do. Straight after lunch we visited the Basilica di San Marco and then Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace). Both of these were fascinating and concluded a great tour.
