Alessandro provides the truly integrated Venetian experience. If you are open to an eclectic, shared, and local experience then this is an easy yes. Alessandro offered many tips that we enjoyed - the local gondola to the fish market, so many terrific restaurants and bars, and the 4.1 boat to Murano for the beautiful glass art. The pace is slow and the city is a wonder. Allesandro’s place is super close to the train station and the city is walkable in about an hour. Enjoy!
