2) Ultimate Venice in a Day with Murano and Burano
I can't afford 40+ euros for a single meal. I know that Venice is super touristy but are there any cheaper options for restaurants that you would recommend? Bonus if it's not shellfish, as I'm allergic. Fish is fine, but not shellfish. But yeah I'm just looking for basic meals that are not going to break the bank, not fine dining.

I've been watching plenty of videos like this, recorded by multiple blogger/guides/youtubers, in the past few weeks and I have to admit, as italian from Venice, art and history lover, english speaker, traveller, that this one is the best, in terms of info's depth.
Just one suggestion: reduce the pace for a more enjoyabe fruition.

01:00 – Arrival Tips: Plane and Train

It is impossible to see Venice in only one day! Also, "Nobody could escape these prisons"? Tell that to Casanova!

All that computer stuff you said....i don't know how to do any of it.

There is no stress getting the Alilaguna ticket at the airport. By the time you paid, the next boat will be boarding. I am sure doing anything online is 100 X harder especially with Italian websites.
11:48 – Murano Glassblowing Experience
13:36 – Burano Lace-making Tradition
I’m staying in Rome but wanna travel by train is there a multiple train pass or like a month pass (like we can travel non stop ) or every day we need to purchase a train pass

I have been stressing about the possible wait times for riding the ferries to and from murano/burano. I think the group tour may be the way to go. Having the transportation set up would save us some valuable time since we are only spending a day there

We'll be in Trieste in November, please do a video, so we can see what to do and what to see. Mille grazie ❤
@Clutching.My.PearlsPlease let Angel know my girlfriend and I love him
@mitchaliciousJust got back from Venice and watched your previous videos before going. Was a great help! Such an amazing place.
@yuppymikeAlways the best spots! Love it
@idanza88We did the Tour Guy Venice in a Day tour & it was worth every penny! Travel pro tip - hit the tower if it’s raining, the crowds disappear and you practically have the tower to yourself w/million dollar views for 10 💶
@kellydawson2988Hands down the best vid on how to hack Venice!
@kellydawson2988Love how you always share the best ways to commute. So helpful!!
@carolineboesenOne thing that’s definitely helped us on a couple of couple trips there is using an app like Moovit - it not only helps with directions but the vaparetto live schedule as well.
@dcm703So, which food tour was that? we will be there in late march.
@pobeeeWas in Venice in early July for a 2 night stay and it was great. Once we learned how to use the Vaporetto we went to all the places we wanted. Visited Murano and so glad we did. Look forward to a future visit.
@striker0103great video angel!!! Always on point!
@rodion007This intro rocks! Great shots. 🎉🎉❤😅
