We booked a gondola excursion in Venice. We were very deceived. We were of the impression that our meeting point would be at least within walking distance of our ship. The day of the excursion, which was scheduled for 5:00 pm. We were notified by their transporter at 1:00 to see if we could move our meeting time to 3:00 pm. Sure. When they sent us directions, we found it was a 2 hour drive plus a 30 minute river ride to our destination. This would mean we would have to pay a taxi to and from. Not to mention coming back would be in the dark and in a foreign country. By the time we discovered this, they would not refund our money. We were out $262.42. Travel agents take note.
