St. Mark's Basilica Tour May 2024 - We appreciate the level of detail and knowledge our guide provided and I would recommend her to anyone who takes this tour. She was also very engaging with the group. Best tour so far.

St. Mark’s with Donatella was wonderful! - The beauty of the cathedral in the unique uniqueness, and how it is, all mosaics was just amazing. Our guide was so informative and had lots of information that added to the tour. She was wonderful. Her name was Donatella.

Good info from a trusted source - I enjoyed hearing information about the Basilica, artwork, artifacts, and town history. It was much more than I would’ve been able to learn walking around on my own. I was grateful to hear it from someone who is from Venice.

St. Mark's whirlwind tour - Good information, good explanations and covered what we wanted to see but the guide wasn't great at keeping the group together.

Really Disappointing... - Nothing compares with the beauty of the Basilica, so we booked a guided tour so that we could learn about the history of the building. We were given earpieces and were in a group of about 16 people with one guide. Our meeting point was a 5 minute walk away from the Square and the guide began talking to us as we walked. So far so good... It some became clear that the earpieces were cutting in and out and that the guide's voice was extremely difficult to hear. We spent the next hour hearing random words and expressions instead of a flow of conversation. It was extremely frustrating and disappointing. We managed to learn very little from the experience and would have been better off booking entry tickets alone and reading the information within the building

Not helpful team. Poor instructions. Meeting point was random - We could not find the meeting place. The instructions were not clear and vague. We found it only to be outside a shop. By this time it was too late. I communicated this with the team to see if we could reschedule and they were most unhelpful.

Terrible experience - We have requested a refund. Our guide took 45 minutes to get us into the tour then before the entrance of the church she said she would share 15 minutes with us and then we would have to guide ourselves. Please refund our money
