Awesome experience
No more beautiful place on Earth I sometimes think and this tour did it justice. Would have liked to have walked around with friends but they chose to hang out in the hotel.

Great
Also about Venice but by a different reviewer: Simple tour to download with lots of info - my wife enjoyed pointing out all the highlights as she had listened to it in the UK before we travelled.

Map was horrible. Got lost. Cool things on the tour, but frustrating to find them. Needed more than 2 hours.
