Una visita inolvidable a Venecia desde Pula, pasando por Medulin

It was a very long day from pickup at 6am back to the hotel at 9pm. All logistics of the trip were spot on, just alot of travelling time. It takes around 2hrs 45 to get to Venice then another hour to cruise into port due to speed restrictions so all in 3hrs 4t mins each way. Once in Venice it was fantastic although very hot the day we went.

The ferry was about 4 hours long & the 'guides' were yelling over the loudspeaker for about 3 of those hours, trying to sell the excursions they provided once in Venice They used scare tactics to advise that Google maps didn't work well there & that it would send you the wrong way, so you would not make it back in time for the return journey. We did none of their trips and managed to navigate easily to the main attractions. There was no food or drink available on the ferry and also no air con

Lunch was offered as part of the package.. this consisted of spaghetti with tomato sauce, cream pasta and a very small square of lasagne, followed by a very small 'childs' portion of ice cream there was cola, water and wine foe €30, expensive for the portion size - think we collectively pais for the guides lunch, they sat on a different table and had something more substantial!!

We loved the trip and the guides were fantastic. However the ferry there and back was incredibly disappointing. It was a very warm day and they had no food or drink offering with no advance notice. A long trip to have without water at least. The toilets were not great and one was out of order. Only allowed outside the main cabin on reaching the Venetian lagoon so that was a little disappointing Otherwise we loved it but it's a long day.

We were not informed that the people on the boat or those running it were going to offer to take us to lunch somewhere or a gondola ride or a taxi from St Mark's Square for extra if we wanted. We had to pay more but we felt that we could of got the excursion cheaper through them and got more opportunities do do other things rather than walk around Venice. Yes the bus ride was great and the people on the boat were brilliant at every level

We booked the venice trip because we wanted to take advantage of being able to see it while we could. The day in total was quite long withe the travel,but we felt that was part of the trip and anyway the guides on the boat were informatiive and witty which helped. We decided to pay the extra for the full package with a guide and it was well worth it. It made the day even more special , i would definatly recommend..it was a truly memorable and unforgettable day Thankyou tui and compass
