  • Great tour and the guides...

    Great tour and the guides were very informative! This tour was in two parts. In the morning Murano and then Burano. Loved Burano! The second part was Dolge Palace and St Marks Basilica. Both were great with a guide. If you went on your own you missed on a lot of info. The last part was a gondola ride. This was absolutely fantastic and a must do in Venice. This tour was well worth the money.

    Guides offer extensive information about what you are seeing....on your own you probably would not get the full impact of what you are seeing. I recommend this tour.
