This book was so detailed and full of information. I want to go to Venice even more than before, because I now feel prepared to go. This book tells it like it is in Venice, even about staying on the upper levels of your hotel and why you should. I really enjoyed the information on all the cuisines and must go to places.

My kids are going on a school trip to Venice in a year and a half so I figured we should brush up on what Venice has to offer. They will have time to explore so this book is great because when listening to it, we were able to come up with a list of items they could check out and do while they are there. I'm jealous that I'm not going but I love that I can gift this type of experience for them. This book is very easy to listen to and makes Venice sound heavenly. There's so many places discussed that you can really make a list of places that fit what your criteria of what you are looking to do on your trip. Wonderful book!

Sounds like heaven!

While I have always been interested in the possibility of visiting this fascinating city, Venice now calls to me. I am drooling at the thought of aperitivos and cicchetti. I will need to learn some Venetian Italian for my trip.
