I searched for similar topics on the forum but most were over 3 years old, thought I'd start a new thread...
Our group of 6 will be visiting Venice in September and plan to hire a private guide for a 3-4 hour walking tour. We would like to visit the must sees + some hidden gems off of the beaten path. RS guide book offers a handful of recommendations but I would like to know whether anyone has had a great experience with a local guide who is personable and fluent in English...
Also, has anyone hired a private sail boat to explore the Venetian Lagoon for a day? Is it worth it? I found a sail boat EOLO, 2400 euro for the 6 of us for 8 hours (including a meal on board). Seems pricey but I am not familiar with the market rate.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
