Things to note
Very important information: From August 1st 2024, the Municipality of Venice requires tourist groups to wear a hearing aid during the activity. The guide will provide one at the beginning of the tour. Since it is a free tour and the hearing aid is expensive, a deposit of € 10 is required, which must be given to the guide at the beginning of the tour, and the same guide will return to you at the end when he gives you the hearing aid. It is mandatory to bring a hearing aid and pay the deposit to take the tour.
