It was pouring outside the day of the tour. But we decided to go and we were very glad that we hadn't cancel the tour! Our guide was Giovanna. She came a little late due to heavy rain, but someone from the tour company called me earlier to let me know so it was ok. Meeting point was confusing because there were a few different groups using the church at the address provided as their meeting point. But our meeting point was the opposite side of the Campo (open space). As I said, it was confusing. When we met with Giovanna, the rain started dying down, and eventually stopped entirely. Fortunately for us, other participants didn't show so the tour became a private one. Giovanna showed us the side of Venice that we hadn't seen yet, and accommodated our request flexibly. She was knowledgeable, honest, friendly and funny (in short, AMAZING!). We were very lucky to have her as our guide today! The cicchetti were so delicious and we enjoyed our conversation with sprits. Thank you, Giovanna!!
