“Our tour guide from TaoTravel was awesome! We went on a comfortable & clean bus ride for about 3 1/2 hours each way. The bus stops after about an hour for bathroom/coffee breaks. We had some free time after connecting with another tour guide in Venice. We enjoyed a lovely lunch at Ristorante San Silvestro. We sat outside. We asked for a gondola ride and our tour guide helped us to secure a space for after our free time but before the final meeting time. She collected the money & paid the owner of the gondola ride. The quiet gondola ride around the canal cost $125. Overall Venice was beautiful…”
