A very interesting presentation providing a brief overview of the history of the Venice in Peril Fund, highlighting the environmental risks which threaten the art and buildings in Venice, and looking at a few of the restoration and conservation projects Venice in Peril has undertaken.

I especially enjoyed the behind the scenes look at some of the restoration projects, gaining a better understanding of the research, consultation and planning that goes into any project before the actual painstaking restoration work begins. I now have another perspective with which to look at the beautiful art and architecture in Venice.

Susan is probably the most expert guide we have had in our many years of traveling. She had a remarkable depth of information about virtually anything we asked her having to do with Venetian art, architecture, history and related topics.

The tour was perfect for our interests, her adaptations were spot on and despite the acqua alta and rain, we had a marvelous tour in every way. Although I myself am a guide in a museum in Boston, I have no suggestions for how this tour could be improved - absolutely perfect as is.
