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!

We absolutely enjoyed the tour with Raphael. He should be in the movies. Both the Doge and basilica. He had great perspectives we enjoyed on the historical and theological significance of Venice. Multo bene

Well done tour
Mike_K

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.

Still deciding if it was worth it. But no regrets.

Wonderful sights to see. Worth it. But guide was repetitive and a bit militant. I’ve been to school and don’t need to be treated like a kid in school again. But not unpleasant. Still have to wait in line for St Marks so really NOT skipping the line.
