We recently took this walking tour in Venice and it was enjoyable and informative. The guide was quite knowledgeable and took us through areas of Venice we would not have seen. The Jewish Ghetto was particularly interesting. I would suggest taking the morning tour as it's a little difficult to see all the nuances of the sights during the evening tour.Monica of Venice-Holidays.com is an incredible resource for apartments in Venice.
