Maria is an absolute must for this walking tour!

I had such a wonderful morning with Maria. She was so informative and kept my curiosity alive the entire tour. I enjoyed seeing historical parts of Venice but the local places like the fish markets. I was the only person on the tour. I asked to go into some unique shops. It felt like I was with a friend. I look forward to the second tour with Maria this afternoon. I absolutely recommend her.
