We requested a van for all our luggage, but got a Mercedes town car. Ended up jammed into the car with my wife between me (230 lb) and son (6'3", 270 lb) in the back seat. Not good...

Was interesting getting in to the corridor, but the artwork there is there for a reason; it's mostly very dark work, and the lighting is poor - just ambient sunlight and weak fluorescent light. The real art is in the Uffizi gallery proper. Also, the group is shepherded by a couple of "nannies" from the museum staff, and they tend to be very much like guard dogs; understandable given they're guarding art that's hundreds of years old and unique,but unpleasant nonetheless. I would have spent a lot more time in the Uffizi -- you only see a small fraction of the Uffizi itself on this tour. I returned on my own to see the rest, and it was a fraction of the cost.

The driver was there when we arrived, helped lug our luggage (and there was a lot), knew where he was going, and helped us unload when we arrived. A great service that made our arrival in an unknown city as easy as it could be.

Herded into a store when you exit the boat, shown how glass is blown for 5 minutes, and then pressure-sold glass for the next 40. That's Murano. In Burano, we refused to be herded into the lace store and actually had time to see a bit of the town. Torcello was interesting, but largely a 20-minute round trip from the boat to the square in a 45 minute trip. Given the obvious pressure on clients to buy glass and lace, this tour should be free...
