Just giving your post a bump back to the first page of the All Topics view! I'm not on your tour but on the many I have taken I'm always shocked when tour members are not aware of the forum!
Have you purchased tickets for extra things like the Doge's Palace and entry to St Marks Basilica in Venice? I loved both of those places when I did the Best of Italy tour!
Have you visited Venice before? Make sure you pack light enough that you can handle your suitcase on/off the vaporetto which you will likely take from your hotel to the bus when you leave for Florence. Also the bridges in Venice are steps not ramps so you have to pick up your suitcase and carry it over if there are bridges between you and the boat dock.
Do download the CityMapper app and mark your hotel location in Venice as your "home" when you get there. I also made an error on one of my RS tours that included Venice and that was that my phone was not holding a charge all day using a mapping program and I did not have a power bank. I definitely needed it in Venice as it seemed to need more "power" trying to get signal in the narrow alleys.
