Perfect first evening in Venice
Morgan_P, 26-09-2021
I had the most wonderful historical theatrical walking tour from Francesca! She was brilliant, so many stories come to life from Venice’s history. Very memorable and a perfect activity for your first evening in the beautiful floating city. I saw so much of Venice I don’t think I would have without her. She really takes you off the beaten path, to experience authentic historical Venice. The stories were excellent, Francesca was amazing the city is beautiful. This is a must activity for your visit!
