Venice Icons: St. Mark’s Basilica & Doge’s Palace Skip-the-Line Guided Tour

Octavia provided a great experience. Very knowledgeable / brilliant and in the same time she made sure that what was to be seen was the basilica and the palace. Leaving the space to those treasures and not her. We Ve just loved it

The tour was great and our guide named Rita super helpful and informative. The only issue that we faced related to the link provided for the meeting point that send us to a different side of St Marcus square.

Gloria was a highly knowledgeable and personable guide, whose articulate commentary brought the history of San Marco's Basilica and the Doge's Palace to life. Well recommended.

Guilia was a great tour guide! Thoughtful, funny, smart and knowledgeable! Just great! She told us so many interesting thing not just about the sights but also about Venice. Excellent!! Skipping the queue is advised.

Our tour guide, Valentina, was incredibly knowledgeable and pointed out many of the beautiful sights and historical background I would have missed without her guiding us through the buildings and area. It was well worth it.

A guia foi fantástica. Muito atenciosa e com grande conhecimento dos detalhes. Nos deu uma aula sobre a Catedral de San Marco e o Palácio Ducal.

Our guide was excellent. Very well informed, entertaining and helpfull. DOWNSIDE: This tour was booked with Headout. We wandered around quite awhile looking for a "Headout" tour sign. There was no sign. No one we asked knew what we were talking about. Finally asked a guide who looked us up & put us with a group under 'City Tours'. You need to have a HEADOUT sign on site, of let your customers know what sign to look for!

First class tour, our guide Monica (aka the mask of Zorro) was amazing, made the tour very interesting and engaging, she asked lots of questions of us instead of just preaching the usual. Highly recommend

A decent guide, but nothing more. But I guess it depends on who you come across... The sites are great! Attention, the meeting point is not correct, you have to go to the Venice Tours agency at "Campo San Gallo" and not to this famous wooden hut where we waited 20 minutes and had to join the group by express after having understood that it was not the right meeting point, a little stress but in the end the visit went well.

Nice short guided tour in Venice with quick access to the most important sights and lots of interesting information. Booked at short notice and worked wonderfully.

We had a fantastic tour guide who was very proficient in english and had lots of knowledge of the Basilica and Doges Palace.

The sights were absolutely amazing as was understanding the history However the guide was quite difficult to understand and spoke very quickly. He was very knowledgable which was great but it wa a bit information overload.

The tour lasts 2h30 instead of 3h. We could have spent more time in the basilica. We didn't even get close to St. Mark's tomb. The visit to the Doges' Palace: too quick too.

Doge's palace was amazing and especially loved the tour of the prison and explenation of the "bridge of sighs". Our guide was excellent.

It was a wonderful experience in sumptuous sites. Our Venician guide took us on a wonderful journey through time. I recommend this guided tour.

Coming in as a tourist in Singapore - Monica was informative in touring us around Doge's Palace and San Marco Basilica. Worth doing this tour.

Our guide was fantastic! I don't think we would've enjoyed it nearly as much had we not done a tour. Would definitely do another tour again!

Our guide Monica Z was fantastic, she is so knowledgeable and pleasant. We really learned a lot and had would definitely recommend it to our friends and family.

The objectives are impressive enough themselves but Rita, our guide, made it all worth it even more with all the historical context she provided in a funny manner. Meeting point was easy to find even though gps sometimes doesn't work great in venice. For acces to museo correr make sure you ask your guide for the tickets.

This was a great tour that I did not research much prior to going so I learned so much from our tour guide Robbie. She was knowledgeable and witty and made the tour special. She was also happy to recommend restaurants to try out and we really enjoyed her recommendation.
