Skip the line access! St Marc is slow going with lots of explanatory background on what you are seeing. More to see in Doge, amazing history!

Our tour guide did a great Job however the process for communicating was difficult and unorganized. Viator itself was great with verification and getting back to us however this company changed the time 2x. Then when down at the square waiting they text where are you? At 1210 when our time was 1230. After arrival to the area they said well it changed. No call or text.

Disaster from the word go. No tickets were purchased by the company and so when we arrived at the Basilica we were refused entry as the company had tickets printed for us for the previous day. Ultimately didn't get entry to the Basillica. Given that this was our last day - we missed out on this. Do not waste your time with this company. Now making me think twice about booking anything with Viator in future- it is not difficult to do your due diligence when you are taking hundreds of pounds from people.

The company gave us tickets with the wrong date and we were not able to get into the basilica, which was half of the experience

You may have a tour guide who has very, very broken English, speaks fast and comes 30-40 minutes late to lead the group, then be rushed through because the basilica was closing. No apologies were asked for our patience. I felt that they were unprofessional.
