The trip from Mantova to Venice on the Ave Maria was fantastic. The tour guides, Fabio and Natasha, were very professional yet engaging and fun. The food was delicious and staff very hard working. We were also fortunate to travel with a great group of diverse people who bonded amazingly and contributed to the positive experience. The only negative was that the air conditioning in the room would not turn down enough and the cabin could get uncomfortably warm at night.
