Fondest Memory: It was, for us, a most enjoyable ride. Our gondolier was pleasant and amusing. We glided along the waterways for about 1 hour (and 3 rolls of film) fascinated by the history of both the city of Venice and our gondolier.

Favorite Thing: Stopping for lunch, while overlooking the gondolas and Grand Canal, you may be joined by some very aggressive birds. They will come and perch on the edge of your plate and help themselves to your meal if you are not watchful.
