Highly recommended. - With some more coffee and active people watching, we recharged our batteries and pushed on to join our pre-arranged afternoon tour of St Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace. Both were great and the tour guide provided context and history about Venice. Recommended.

Fantastic and educational - This was such an informative tour. Our guide, Franca, explained how the building mirrored the cultural, political and religious changes over the centuries. Her style brought the four horsemen to life. She showed us the work of artisans mosaics in every part of the holy place. A+

Wasted opportunity - The guide was very knowledgeable but the headsets were poor quality so it was very hard to hear for all five of us.
