t's worth visiting Venice with me because otherwise:

you risk seeing usual attractions...

if you want to see something different, you risk getting lost every two minutes...

if nobody tells you what you are seeing, you risk loosing most of its charm...

you won't find anecdotes and curiosities in the common guides...

if you need information, you'll risk asking other tourists as lost as you...

if you do not know where to eat, you risk to spend a fortune!
