Der Startpunkt Fondamenta Cossetti, draußen zwischen Bahnhof und Busbahnhof, ist nicht gut. In dieser Gegend gibt es keine engen Kanäle - eine halbwegs idyllische Fahrt darf man sich nicht erwarten.

Esperienza nel complesso positiva, simpatico e coinvolgente il gondoliere. peccato aver percorso canali periferici di per sè non così suggestivi.
