For a nice Venice experience I suggest a ride on this site: www.sovenice.com .
This is the ultimate work published by the Special Agency of the Chamber of Commerce of Venice and allows the surfers to make them own paths and sve them on their mobile devices such as Garmin Navigator and Nokia cell phiones. Take a look :)
