Interesting stories. It was fun to walk some of the backstreets, away from the crowds. Very entertaining antidotes of events that could or could not have happened in the past. Our tour guide was very engaging and kept our attention the entire 90 minute excursion.

A fascinating web of stories about Venice

Published on Aug, 2024

Our family really enjoyed hearing many stories and seeing the actual places they occurred. It was fun to experience history that most people are not aware of.
