Amazing Tour
Veronica was the best. Her knowledge about Venice, The Doges Palace, and Saint Marks were captivating. We did numerous kinds of tours while in Italy and Veronica topped them all. She took time to get to know us as well. The experience was personalized while still very professional. Communication was superior throughout the entire process. We hope to see Veronica again.
