Our docente and tour were very good. It was a good introduction to Venice and we should have probably done this on our first day instead of the second. Our 12 year old twins were probably just a little too old for the tour. Although our 12-year son enjoyed the lion spotting, our daughter felt it was for "little kids". I would recommend that Context tours suggest this for slightly younger kids.

Wow! Our guide, Nadia Mazzon, was so much fun. She was so great at getting our son to think about and spot lions all around us (and explain why they are there) that he kept doing it the next day, and the next after that. We learned so much about the political background of what lead Venice to become the power center that it was, and the history of this area of the world. We found her insights into the art and architecture all around us to far outstrip any guide book, and it was great to get clear and in-depth answers to my sometimes very naive questions. Her enthusiasm and background in art history really show!

Giovanna made the walk such fun. She was so patient and genuinely interested in us and the children as well as so knowledgeable about every corner of Venice. We loved it and have learned a lot as well as having great fun.
