“Francesca was a fantastic tour guide who was very knowledgeable (an archeologist too) and communicated the information in an interesting manner and timed the tour at a perfect pace. 2 very tall flights of stairs to climb for tour of Doge and steep, extremely narrow staircase down from prison to ground and stairs upstairs to terrace of St. Mark’s Cathedral so need to be mobile without bad knees or hips.”
