The tour was good, the guide had lots of information but the tour was on the pricy side for what it was. There were many other people touring around us, so the experience wasn’t as private as I would like. We still had to use headsets to hear, which sometimes had interference. Would choose a cheaper alternative next time, the semi-private part was not worth the cost to me.

Nico gave an amazing tour! He is passionate about Venice and her history! He was so informative about the mosaics in St. Mark’s and the influence of the Doge before Italy became a country! You must request him! It was a superb tour!

Nico was a fantastic guide! This was our 3rd Liv Tours visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned a lot and definitely recommend taking a tour. We would have missed a lot without our guide.

What a way to see such an amazing piece of history... As a family of 3, we joined one of the semi-private tours (max. 6 people) of Doge's Palace and Saint Mark's Basilica. We were lucky enough to have Martina as our guide, who was engaging, knowledgable and proud to share her home city highlights with us. The scheduled 3 hours, became closer to 3.5 hours and we never felt rushed. All of us walked out knowing more about these beautiful, important historical places thanks to LivTours and Martina.

Pamela was our tour guide for the tour of St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace. She was wonderful and was a wealth of information! I would highly recommend this tour if you are into history and architecture like my husband and I are. This tour is 6 people max, but there were only 4 of us! With it being such a small semi-private tour, you really get a more personal tour.
