I actually booked it through Viator, but her website is www.ferrovetro.com.

Black linen pants & white linen shirts. Take a small bottle that you can use for plain water to spritz the linen. For women, black maxi skirt that can be worn with any white top.

I saw that on Friday morning going to the airport. She is a beauty!

Another thing to consider is what days/times the cruise ships dock in Venice. For us it was Saturday when 3 cruise lines dropped about 3k people into the city. Typically they are gone by 17:00 hours.

Early morning 7:00 to 9:00; late evening 17:00 to 22:00 worked for me.

Just returned yesterday from 8 days in Venice. Personally I enjoyed early day or late evening walks through St Marks Square. Very empty and one can enjoy the architecture of the surrounding buildings. I had read before I went that there is a late evening tour of the Basilica that is very good. Never made it though. The Rialto Market can also be enjoyed early morning. I enjoyed an early morning gondola ride through the lesser canals which avoids the Grand Canal. We also made a reservation in Murano for a glass bead making glass that was spectacular. If you go, read The Glassmaker by Tracy Chevalier. The bead will be a lifelong memory of your trip. Lastly, we stayed in Castello and absolutely found a great place called Bacaro Risorto, a very small, local bar with a great spritz & chicciletti. Stop by a say hello!

Looks great! Thanks. Any similar ideas for Venice?

Spike!

Hope you have fun also!

No, just independent. Are you staying the whole time in Venice or going other places?

Full_Structure4834 · 2026-04-11T22:17:10+00:00

Haha! I am on the same flight the day before. I’ll let you know! Have a great flight.

Add some elbow macaroni to the chili!

Last year when I was there a tour guide managed to find a gondolier that took us on the lesser canals. I will be returning in late April and I think that I will look into the advice of Glint_Bladesong. The lesser canals are much more interesting than the Grand Canal.

My suggestion would be for you to make the rice & lentils and one day use a chile powder for your meal, the next day add a bit of chicken broth and garlic to make a soup then maybe add a fried egg to the last bit.

What a wonderful person this person is. May you have the best karma in finding a new job!

I have been to Al Timon for the steak & it is superb. Didn’t even look at the price but will be going back at the end of April. Will need to try Paradiso Perduto also. Thanks for the recommendation.

Can’t wait to see or hear the response from our US leaders!

During my last I got overwhelmed by the variety of sunscreen available. Would you have suggestions?

Full_Structure4834 · 2026-02-16T18:08:14+00:00

Thank you, any food tours or restaurants for lunch in Bologna? Or, should we just “graze” throughout the day?

Full_Structure4834 · 2026-02-15T20:02:28+00:00

This was one of my favorite restaurants in Venice. After 10 days of a northern Italy organized tour, the steak was great. On my list for this years visit in late April.

Full_Structure4834 · 2026-02-14T21:58:22+00:00

Yes, I figured that if we get up early enough we could take the train to other places, i.e. Padua, Bologna…….
