St. Marks tour was not good. Tour guides English was not easily understood and your earphones are very low quality which made the experience difficult. Gondola ride was acceptable.

Tour guide was good, Mark, but the meeting point and crowds were difficult to maneuver. The tour company seemed disorganized, radios had several issues and the gondola ride was less than 15 minutes around the block. Wouldn’t book again.

My wife and I arrived in Venice around 9.30am via train. With assistance from some locals we eventually found the designated area for meeting the tour. For early October the whole area was manically busy with an excessive number of other tour groups. Prior to the meeting time we hurriedly moved around these crowds for 15 minutes looking for our guide, who was meant to be dressed in a particular coloured outfit and be holding a listed flag. We never found this guide, to our extreme disappointment & sadness at missing our much awaited tour.

We got to the tour and the guide was knowledgeable but the sound was super scratchy and a lot of feedback so it was hard to understand anything. Then we were told to go back to the meeting point for the gondola ride. The kiosk was all boarded up. When I called support they called someone who said they forgot to tell us the gondola ride portion wouldn’t be for another 3 hours. Nowhere in the tour description did it say the gondola ride was that much later in the day. We weren’t able to make it for the gondola ride because of this. Waiting to see if my partial refund request was approved.

The travel guides had to make quick changes to this itinerary since it started to rain pretty heavy and the gondola ride was not possible. They rescheduled the ride until late afternoon and switched the tour of St. Mark's Basilica so we were able to do both. Quick thinking and coordination to make sure we didn't miss either.
