Nice tour to the city of Venice.
We made the tour on during the week and it was excellent.
Antonella was a nice tour guide and explained everything we want to know.
The gondola tour took approx 20 to 30 minutes.
So if you are the first time in Venice take the tour to get an idea what you would like to see.

Awful tour. Limited to small area. OK if you like wells!! Gondola ride a big disappointment. Gondolier spent the whole time talking to another driver. Better to walk around like the locals. On a plus Venice is amazing.
