Lorenzo was very knowledgeable in regards to the tour we took at St Marks. He had an easy to understand information in regards to all the specific work throughout the Church and showed pictures to us when we were unable to see the tile work within the dome. We were very pleased with his guided tour Thank you The Shubin’s
