    We had one full day to sightsee and this was the perfect tour for it. I enjoyed the morning tour of doge and the basilica. The guide Eliza had a lot of great stories and made the tour interesting. The afternoon tour to burano and murano was Also worth the visit, if anything, just to see the artisans in action. Burano also makes for great photos. Our afternoon guide Nicole was very engaging and made the boat ride feel short.

  • Great experience

    Great tour, great guide! St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace are must-see sites in Venice. Both were beautiful! Our tour guide, Phillipo, was so well-informed and pleasant as he shared their history with us. The gondola ride capped off a great morning tour!

    Doge palace even early is very busy. A skip the line tour is a must. Phillipe was very knowledgeable. I had some trouble hearing and understanding becauae of the general ambient noise. Stick to front of the group and you should be okay. The boat trip out was great just to get out of the city on a pretty day.

  • Great half day experience
