condensed tour

This tour is strange under covid conditions but great efforts were made to keep people safe with windows open, one way systems etc. The guide was vary clear and covered well what was a big subject. At 90 minutes this was an ideal condensed tour for people who do not have time for the usual longer one and do not want too much detail.

Great Tour despite COVID - questions answered!

The experience was very nice - our teens ages 12 & 14 also enjoyed it. It was a good experience - our tour director was very patient with the rules instituted due to COVID. We were glad to be with a tour guide to make our way through the Doge's palace - as they kept us moving very smoothly through it all. She gave great information and answered all of our questions. The Basilica was not open in the main floor - we were only able to go directly upstairs to view the main floor from the balcony. We did not have to wait long at either site.

Hurry up and wait

We were running behind and missed the tour by 5 mins. Totally our fault. Called and was told to catch the next tour in an hour. Great! We bummed around but the next tour got started nearly 30 mins late. And we weren’t told on the phone that we would not have a guide for Doge’s Palace. We would have to come back tomorrow if we wanted to see it guided. Well, can’t do because we have a different tour booked during that time. Also, the basilica tour only lasted 45 minutes. Was it rushed due to her being late? Or is this typical? Your guess is as good as mine! Our tour guide was pleasant and had some interesting stories but didn’t strike me as exceptional- which we generally feel after a tour. This tour was meh with all that happened.

Highly Recommended for First Timers and Experienced Visiters

Had a fantastic time on our tour. The guide was very knowledgable and was able to answer any questions I had (which was impressive given my prior knowledge on a lot of the subject matter). The perks of being able to cut the lines and being lead into areas that the general public aren't allowed access to cannot be overstated - it's a game changer. The group size wasn't too big, so it didn't feel like we were too encumbered and could make our way easily. Would certainly recommend anyone with an interest in visiting these two buildings to take this tour. Also, the Glass Factory demonstration at the end was a nice surprise and a great place to find a nice souvenir. My girlfriend loved that.

This was a fantastic tour. My husband and I highly recommend it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and his pace was not too fast. Doing this early was a good idea and we got in and around very quickly and were not rushed nor was it too crowded.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. They left us waiting in the hotel lobby for a tour operator that would not show up because they are not paying their guides. Use AIRBNB experiences for a much better time.
