If you have any mobility issues, getting the Venice City Pass is a very good idea. I myself, have serious knee and ankle problems; walking can be a challenge for extended periods. The pass allows you to bypass waiting in que to purchase entrance tickets. You simply have them scan your card when you enter. No waiting. When every step counts, or even just standing, it's great! I'm so glad I was able to see so many fantastic museums and sites, instead of just sitting.

Excellent tour! Our guide, Monica was super knowledgeable about the history of St Marks, Venice and it's connections to Constantinople, bringing life and context to what we were seeing in an entertaining way. She also gave me some amazing tips to some of the lesser known gems to see in Venice. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed the guided tour and definitely would not have gotten as much out of it if we went ourselves. Guide was helpful and the group was easy to contact and gave clear instructions on meeting point.

This pass is perfect for visiting Venice and its museums. The Doge's Palace is magnificent, and you can do the tour with an audio guide. The other museums in St. Mark's Square are also fascinating, as are the others scattered throughout the city. The works on display are top-notch, and the palaces are magnificent.

This was a great tour package... all in one including water bus transport. The basilica was the highlight... tour guide gave so much information on the history and highlights of inside the basilica. Highly recommend this tour.
