\"\"<\/a><\/p>

According to the Italian law all guides must be certified by passing an examination<\/strong> given by the state to perform their services. This card must be shown when in service.<\/p>

Being simply a “native” is not synonymous with reliability or competence: this law is meant to guarantee the highest quality for the consumer. If you hire\u00a0someone that cannot show this license\u00a0upon request of the authorities, you could find yourself in an embarrassing\u00a0situation…<\/p>

Pay attention: in Italy there are three different guides: “tour leaders<\/em>” in charge for transfers and assistance during tours and “tourist guides<\/em>” in charge for guided tours along the streets and inside monuments, museums and churches. But pay attention: you can book a\u00a0“national tourist guide<\/em>” o a “local tourist guide<\/em>” specialized\u00a0 in Venice\u00a0 ad its province. Itay is such a rich country, it is impossible for one person to guide you well everywhere….be sure you book a registered local tourist guide<\/strong>!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h3>

That is it!\u00a0So if you are in a hurry, a taxi misght be more suitable to you: Fast and fun, this means of transportation represents the modern side of the city, but take my advice- ask the price before boarding.

In Venice a bus is a boat: the VAPORETTO<\/span><\/h4>

\"vaporetto<\/a>To move around in town, there are no public road means of transportation ,but big water buses,\u201d VAPORETTI\u201d that are quite well organized, though not exactly cheap.<\/p>

Travelling by water, it can be a bit slow, this is sure, but please do not forget that you are on vacation and the fare includes a magnificent panorama that you are allowed to enjoy through its windows.<\/p>

If you are a little bit \u201cin a hurry\u201d use the boats as the Venetians do\u2026only for a short journey and then the rest by foot.<\/p>

The ticket is quite expensive, but if you if you buy a valid 24 or 48 hour pass, a savings is ensured.\u00a0For further information about fares<\/strong> visit this website<\/a>.<\/p>

REMEMBER: always validate your ticket<\/strong> before boarding!<\/p>

Remember that vaporetti are not reserved for tourists, on the contrary, the Venetians take them to go to work, so just do as they do:<\/p>
