We were met promptly at our meeting place and divided into appropriate groups, ours was about 15 people so a lovely size. We then went on a walking tour around venice with our very informative and charming guide. You are provided with a headphone pack so you can clearly hear your guide if its noisy around you or you fall back a bit to look at something. The skip the line access was great and the Doges Palace was absolutely incredible. St Marks basilica is a work of art and the information our guided provided on both venues was outstanding. I thoroughly recommend this tour as you get to see the majority of Venice and its attractions in the one day. Little tip though is to research the flooding in st marks square according to the time of year you are visiting. Whilst they provide walkways to keep you dry I was just find in wellies.

<p>Great tour. Our guide, Catarina, was very knowledgeable and informative. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a quick overview of Venice, and more details and insight into the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica.</p>

Jeff T

<p>Our guide was great! We saw so much and learned so much. A very well organized tour.</p>

Joe E

<p>The group we were in was HUGE and therefore the tour was terribly slow. Our tour guide was entertaining but very hard to understand. These are both places that you can see on your own and I did not see long lines at all. I am sure the price to get in the door is a lot less that what we paid for tour.</p>

Vivien O

<p>We were only four during this tour which allowed us to cover a lot of ground in Venice. The local tour operator is the only group allowed in the middle seats of the Basilica and enjoy substantial explanation of the building and its artworks. Kudos to our guide Rossana for a great tour.</p>

Megan P

<p>Good tour, no time built in for breaks - so be prepared. Also, if you don't keep up, you can lose the audio for our tour guide and miss out on some of the information.</p>

Joseph S

<p>Guide provided a bit too much detail without really brining what we saw to life. Overall a good value.</p>
