You know Joey, Venice is such a condensed walking city. We saw a group with a tour guide explaining the architecture to them at San Marco... but you could do the same with a good Frommers book in hand. We loved walking around Venice with Gail and Paul, we walked all along the canals, stopped for lunch or libations :) when you're tired take a gondola ride. It is THE best city to do on one's own - even though we usually use tour guides for most other cities in Europe. Just my take!

To Joey, HRH,

HRH, stands for His Royal Highness. Now that you have been dubbed King, I want to observe proper protocal. LOL

Yes Joey, that's exactly what I was saying in some areas private guides are nice, but I agree with Jackie Venice is not one of those places.

BTW: loved your crown!

Later,
