We met our tour guide Tulia who gave our group an excellent and informative tour: the ‘skip the line’ passes let us avoid waiting but get to see some amazing sights. Definitely recommend.

Pamela was a very knowledgeable guide. We were able to learn so much more having her as a guide rather than touring the Venetian sites on our own. Having the enjoyable gondola ride as part of the tour enabled us to check off a bucket list item for all eight of us (split between two gondolas).
