The whole program was as planned, and I thought everything we visited was spectacular, and there was no waiting to enter the monuments.

The experience was great, although finding the meeting location was a bit of a challenge ...our guide was very good...spent a good deal of time explaining and answering questions. She was very knowledgeable and threw in lots of stories and theories and susperstitions about the legends. Both St Marks and Doges Palace were worth the tour!

Our guide was really good. She was able to share stories about living in Venice, as well as the history of the island and the sites. Weeks later, I still remember her stories. What a great way to learn about history and a new area.

Rebecca our tour guide was a passionate Venetian who loved her country and its history. Her knowledge about the palace and st marks was excellent , but she was also very charming offering anecdotes about life in Venice - and somehow she managed to engage my entire family in the tour (hard to do as 2 are teens!)

The prison tour and the arsenal room was a great part of the tour but the best part was the biblical mosaics in the church, just amazing. The tour helped point out details that could have otherwise been missed.

THE HEADPHONES DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY AND NO REPLACEMENTS WERE PROVIDED. THE GUIDE'S STRONG ITALIAN ACCENT FOR A TOUR IN FRENCH WAS PROBLEMATIC, AND SEVERAL PARTICIPANTS REGRETTED IT.

We devoted almost an hour to get into the Doge's House, another half hour to use the toilets. The tour was interesting but we felt we could have used more time and get more information at the Basílica. Needs improving.

We had a private tour with Francesca and found her to be very knowledgeable and insightful during our tour, we were never rushed and she took the time to answer our questions and allow us photo time.

Chiara our guide was great. I had some difficulty because I didn't realize I had booked a guide in English even though it said Italian on the voucher.

Audio guide was excellent along with the tour. Would have been nice for the ticket to allow more time in the Doge Palace after the tour so we could look at more things.

Monica was the sweetest guide we have had the chance of meeting in Venice. She took us around the Palace and the Basilica, and we have learned a lot from her. We would recommend her 100%!
