Our guide Christina was great and was very informative about the city, not just the basilica and showed us some nice quiet parts around Venice. Skip the line tickets was great given the wet weather! Highly recommended

Very happy we booked this tour. Meeting location was easy to find and skipping the line at St Mark’s was the way to go! Guide was very knowledgable, funny and did a great job keeping our small group together despite the weekend crowds. Learned a lot about the history of Venice!
