The Arsenale is for the first time in Carnival history open to the public (from February 27th till February 4th 2014 30/31th of January and 4th-6th of February 2016), and from what I can tell the program is pretty neat: street artists, fireworks and live music. Not bad at all! Soooo, Sunday we finally...

  •   Beatrice hat diese Tour überaus lebendig und ansprechend gestaltet. Sie kennt sich sehr gut aus und ging auf alle Fragen ein. Wir haben Ecken von Venedig kennengelernt, die wir alleine nicht entdeckt hätten. Besonders hat uns die bunte Mischung aus geschichtlichen, kulturellen und lokaltypischen Infos gefallen. Ein tiefer Einblick in die venezianische Seele. Kommunikation im Vorfeld war super, das Treffen reibungslos.
    Die Tour war sowohl für uns Erwachsene, als auch für unser 10-jähriges Kind spannend und informativ.
    Wir würden sofort wieder mit Beatrice Venedig entdecken.
    Alles Gute !
