Our guide was lovely and her English was excellent. Perfect length of tour if you are only in Venice for a few days. 2011-04-24 Joanne O , Great tour. Hits all the main highlights of the area. I would recommend this tour. We booked four different tours with this company. Be sure to check the time of year for high water. Rain boots are sold at the local kiosk for around 15 euro. 2010-11-21 Bonita R , Didn't exactly skip the line thanks to the flooding....but a very informative trip! 2010-10-19 Jemma L , If you go to St Mark's Square I would recomend this tour. No queing, the Basilica is fantastic. You can hear everything the rep. sayes because of the earpiece that you are provided with. It was very interesting the facts about the history not boreing at all. We did the one hour tour but would have liked to carry on to the Doge Palace mabe next time. Just a note if you have a drink in the square afterwards they charge extra to listen to the music it is 12euro + drinks 2010-09-23 Gilbert B , We had a very small group because three people did not show. Since there were only four of us, we did not need the headsets and had a fantastic experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend this tour! 2010-08-01 Katherine F, United States of America We had a very small group because three people did not show.
