<p>This is very misleading, Skip the line? Our guide met us at the Square and we walked around where she explained and gave us an overview of the different buildings. But when I asked about going into the Basilica the line was long and she said there was no time for that. What was suppose to be four hours was cut to 2.5. Although I have to say, we really enjoyed the boat tour. That was the highlight of our stay in Venice. While on the tour she explained the different sites, the buildings, etc. You see so much more in a motor boat tour than a gondola ride.</p>

<p>Very good tour. Veronika was informative. She did a good job of showing us around within the time available. Her English was good. Her knowledge of the area was strong. The boat tour was a good way to get familiar with the basic layout of Venice; a good first day tour.</p>
