We were given radios each to hear the tour guide who was very knowledgeable and open to answer questions, we stopped at the top of the basilica to watch the squares clock chime and take pictures. It's a shame we didn't get time to explore a bit more ourselves once the tour was given as we didn't seem to stop, but overall it was good.

Learn something new everyday! Everything was smooth and going well until my headphones didn’t work. My guide took good care of me, got me all set up and we continued on without a glitch.

This was a great quick tour. It was nice that you could explore doges palace more, if you wanted to at the end. My tour guide had. Great personality and did a great job at keeping everyone together. Unfortunately I do not remember his name, but he put a lot of humor in his tour, which prevented it from being too dull, which I was worried about! Overall, a great tour, without it I definitely wouldn't have been able to comprehend all of the history around me

The trip for both the Palace and the Basilica were highly informative, our tour guide educated us on the symbolism, history, highlights and features not to be missed. She had the skill to move on at the right time and we felt we had a comprehensive and valuable experience.
