The docent was very knowlegeable and eager to share her love of Venice. She had answers to every question. She pointed out things we never would have seen otherwise. I regret that for reasons that had nothing to do with the docent, I was exhausted at the end of the tour.

We really liked the behind the scenes times eg the foundry visit and the renovated convent tour. Erika had told us about the covent renovation but it was only when I asked if we could go in that she inquired and got a yes.. They have done an amazing job changing it into rooms for students. This is a sensative point but something that we both agreed needs to be said. Our guide needs to be aware of a personal hygiene issue. On hot days body odour can be an issue so a deodorant needs to be used.

Louisa is a delightful guide, extremely knowledgeable and flexible to accomodate our specific interests. She personally knew all the artisans whose shops we visited and, as an art historian, was able to provide detailed information about the art we saw in churches. In addition, she was able to point out the historical context of the streets and buildings we encountered on our walk
