BLOG: The Tour Captain Journals
Dateline Venice, Italy By Sandy Gregory, QueensLander Tour Captain, CITM My Favorite Things - Venice Venice oozes history.
The city has a unique mystique that one encounters nowhere else in the world. Im not talking about the Venice filled with thousands of day-trippers, gondola traffic jams and hawking merchants selling carnival masks, but rather the city itself. Venice is a work of art, comprised of 117 tiny islands connected by 400 bridges over 150 canals. The buildings are an eclectic match of Renaissance arches, Gothic points and Byzantine filigree hanging on to each other for dear life, their skin peeling and foundations slowly collapsing. Venice makes you feel as though you have stepped onto a movie set, looking almost exactly as it has for a thousand years. So to me, tenacity is the art of Venice.

I have been with a large tour group in Ireland and that cannot measure up to a small tour group. Our travel companions on the Queenslander Tour were wonderful. They were friendly and kind, never rude and we were able to get to know each other quite well.

Traveling and exploring Italy in a small group can be a magical experience for all, as the beautiful sights and sounds of a famous city are all the more meaningful when shared in an intimate group. A large tour group can lack personal service while our smaller tour groups encourage everyone on the tour to become an Italy explorer. We offer a variety of tours to Italy so that travelers who use our services can see some of the world's most famous architecture and stunning Art of Italy with a tour group that is smaller than standard tour group sizes.
