Enjoyable afternoon with a great guide
Adair was friendly and helpful sharing loads of tips on places to visit and eat for the rest of our trip.
We had a great couple of hours with her and enjoyed the food and drink on offer. She also showed us a great wee place to see the Rialto Bridge away from all the crowds.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as your guide.
