We are waiting for a full refund but you are not responding. The tour guide cancelled on us an hour before we were to start. . First she delayed us one hour due to her having traffic problems. Then she cancelled it an hour later saying she was sick!!!!!!!! Ruined our day!!!!!! Everything else was sold out. We had ONE day in Venice and you ruined it!!!!!! Send our full refund. We will not let you get away with not refunding us.

Good tour overall. Walking guided part was great, but the appointed tour operator did seems a bit disjointed! A bit more co-ordiantion between 'Tripadvisor' and the operator is in order here. The entrance to the Basilica is just a basic admission ticket ... you need to pay a significant extra amount at the Basilica to access the 2 other attractions within!! Godola ride was highlight - well co-ordinated and great staff. You do have to share it with 2/3 other people though ..

It was hard to understand the guide for the walking tour. The description of this package was misleading. The walking tour and gondola ride we’re through one company and the museums were on our own and confusing. We thought we were paying for some handholding and guidance but got neither. Seemed very pricey for what we got.

Excellent tour but not for the faint. Lots of steps up and down stairs. Overall from our B&B we walked over 5 miles and stood a lot while tour guide, Martina, who was excellent gave the history lessons. Well worth the time, but a long time standing.

I booked a private tour. This was anything but. The company was very slow to provide information and sent pdfs via the viator app - which stinks and didn't support these files. So instead of a private tour we were grouped not only with 10 other people, but there were 2 languages, so the whole tour was difficult to follow. The gondola process was a nightmare where dozens of people were herded around. We were put in a boat with 3 men who spoke on their phone the whole time. It was the most unpleasant experience I had on my vacation.

Worst your ever purchased through Viator. The contractor Yo Tours needs to be “fired” from Viator. Horrible customer service and false advertising. Nothing like the write up. Can’t wait to get home and do a dissertation on this so called tour company Yo Tour. Their motto should be Yo we got your money

This actually a 0. Booked one week in advance and no tickets received. Called Viatours and YoTours (in India). Finally received tickets night before and the time had changed from 11:00 to 3:00 and St Mark’s tour was cancelled. Do not buy from this company, they have a no refund policy. It is a scam.
