These guides are amazing and super knowledgeable about their business and their city. I must emphasize: I did this tour during the CRAZIEST, busiest and most world-wide attended day in the year: The Venice Carnivale. Forget Mardi Gras, forget Fasching- this thing takes the cake and runs with it. There must have been 500,000 people in Piazza di San Marco, all in costume!!!! As a total ignorant, I completely underestimated the intensity of the day, and yet, it happened and it went fantastic! We even went all the way up to the balcony at St, Mark's Basilica and saw ALL of he Carnivale, the gondolas, the people, and the music all the way from up there. If you ever want to feel like royalty, that is your chance!!!! As locals guided were cool and collected even with the craziness of the day, and we felt safe and totally cool by being in the coolest spots of the town. KUDOS, KUDOS and more KUDOS.

Very interesting tour. And the staff was very friendly. However, the guide was difficult to understand due to the headset having a lot of static. Other members of the group also had the same complaint.

This was a large group tour of St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace in Venice. St. Mark's is breathtaking. We saw a lot of churches while we were in Italy but I would definitely rank St. Mark's as the most beautiful. The museum upstairs was a bonus where you could see the mosaics and the bronze horses up close. I would definitely recommend seeing St. Mark's. The other half of the tour is of Doge's Palace. While the palace is extremely ornate and, with lots of mural paintings and gold I'm not sure I would do that part again.

This was a tough tour. The facilities were beautiful, but my family felt like we were in a cattle call, just being shuffled from place to place. I don’t think it was at the fault of the guide, it was just incredibly crowded, and a struggle.
