Ludo’s place is perfect for the solo traveler, as advertised. He met me at the bus, helped me get city bus tickets and showed me the neighborhood. His home is convenient to public transportation, restaurants, cafes and groceries. His private tour through Venice is not to be missed. What you will miss, is the masses of tourist. You will see hidden places that make Venice ever more interesting than the normal tourist route. I cannot express how highly I recommend this tour!
