Rita was brilliant and so knowledgeable!!! We loved it and would recommend to anyone. Do this tour on your first full day so you can embrace the rest of Venice with more knowledge in your back pocket.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. We really enjoyed the tour. I would definitely recommend the early access tour since it gets super busy after 9. Five Stars!!!

Very well organised, meeting place easy to find. The best part, though, was our tour guide - Gina. She was engaging, witty, informative, thorough and incredibly knowledgeable. She made the tour unforgettable!

The guide was very pleasant and the explanations were very interesting. However, the people at the ticket office before starting the guided tour were not very pleasant with tourists.

Our tour guide was awesome. Our tour began at 8:00 and we entered Doge palace around 8:30 and we were the first group in and we had no crowds at all. Our guide was very knowledgeable and knew a great detail of history. On to St Mark basilica and although it was crowded inside we made our way to the 2nd floor and was able to take great pictures without any crowds. We then when outside for a beautiful view of the piazza. Was fantastic and highly recommend this tour and tour guide and company.
