Traveler Tips
- "Do NOT try to do these sites without a tour like this!" See review
- "Doing this early was a good idea and we got in and around very quickly and were not rushed nor was it too crowded." See review
- "Viator needs much specificity (like the cruise lines do on their tours) about difficulty walking, distance walking and if there are a large number of stairs." See review

Really informative
Stephanie_S

The palace and basilica are breathtaking and I couldn’t fault the hosts knowledge of the history. Knocked off a star for the crackly sound system which meant we lost a fair bit of what was being said and it is so very busy in the day I can’t help but this an evening tour could be better.

Very disappointed
Charbel_M
, Apr 2022
I didn’t even get to go on the tour because the skip the line tickets were sold out before we bought our Viator experience and we weren’t informed. We showed up and the tour guide told us we didn’t have any valid tickets. Completely terrible experience and Viator hasn’t even bothered to reply to my refund request a day later. Wasted part of my short time in Venice and a lot of money.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Dear Charbel,
we are truly sorry about what happened with your booking. Unfortunately, due to an internal problem to our system, we accidentally overbooked the date and were forced to cancel the last bookings received.
Of course you received our staff support at the meeting point and as soon as we returned to the office on
Monday we fully refunded your booking. You are expected to receive the amount paid back in a couple of working days.
We apologize once again for the inconvenience.
Kind regards,
Park Viaggi Team

Good Tour to Cover St. Marks and Doge Palace

This was a good way to get all that you need to know regarding St. Mark's basilica and the Doge's Palace. Having not known anything about either, this was a really good exposure to both. St. Mark's was under a lot of construction, which made the tour a bit crazy. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the tour guide, but she did a great job at explaining this history and it's importance.
Excellent tour of St Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace

Horrible tour guide. I thought they had higher standards for their guides. Rude, hard to understand and didn’t seem to care much about making it a good experience for the group. Waste of money!
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Dear,
your review leaves us very perplexed. We always receive many compliments for the tour you have purchased and our guides are the best that the city of Venice can offer, carefully selected by our staff.
We would like to ask you to write us an email with all the details about your visit in order to understand better what happened.
Thank you and kind regards,
Park Viaggi staff

The guide was excellent; very knowledgeable of Venice and the history behind it. The skip the line at the Doge's palace was valuable, but recent COVID restrictions made the skip line line impossible for St. Mark's Basilica (for all tour guides in town). Still, the wait to get into the Basilica was not long, and felt even shorter as our guide continue to provide us information during the wait.
I would book again if I return to Venice.
