Venice intrigue - I never got our guides name, but she was wonderful. She grew up in Venice, and yeah, was so very fluent in English. She was very easy to understand, but she just was full of information about the history of Venice, and what living in Venice was like over the centuries, and how it all came about .

Lovely Murano and Burano - Allesandra was a wonderful guide. She gave interesting facts about Murano and Burano as well as the history of Venice. She was very friendly and welcoming to our group. I would recommend Allesandra as a tour guide!

High pitched but good English - We learned about the importance of Venice in the PAST, I think guide repeated herself too much, very high pitched voice, very friendly though, not sure she has been doing this for long.

Lacked organisation - Firstly, the guide did share some interesting knowledge of the surrounding area however I wasn't impressed by the overall tour. We were asked to arrive 15 mins before tour departure at 3pm however when the guide arrived at 3pm there were issues with the headsets which took a while to fix meaning a late start to the tour. I then felt that we were walked very quickly through the tour, pausing at moments but it was hard to keep up through the small streets with a large group - when you get too far away you can no longer hear the guide on the headset. I'd booked the gondola pass for after the tour, this was poorly organised and we were waiting with no direction for over 30 minutes. The role of organising everyone was left to someone who was doing it for the first time so we appreciate it was stressful as lots of other groups shouting and pushing in. Overall I feel this could have been better organised rather than multiple large groups just having to hang around the gondola stand.
