Our tour guide Michaela was wonderful. She was very informative with good details about both Doge Palace and the Basilics. I really liked the audio devices. It really helped me hear everything that she was saying without having to stand right next to her. I do recommend going on as early a tour as possible. We went at 8:30am, and there were no crowds at all when we first started.

The tour guide was incredibly well organized, and her storytelling was top-notch. She was really entertaining as she explained all the fascinating stories. I’m someone who can get tired of history pretty easily, but she was so good that she inspired me to go read more about it.

Very well organised with a most informative and personable guide, local Venetian Grazia.This was expensive for a family but definitely worth the money for the convenience of being led straight into the sites and for all we learnt.

We had a good guide but our booking was changed to a time that forced us to leave the tour early so we didn't miss our gondola ride. I gave it too many stars. What a fiasco Heafout has been.

Facilidad para encontrarnos en el punto de encuentro , es cierto que en momentos puntuales sería mejor llevar audio con casco ya que con la gente la voz del guía costaba escucharla

Our tour guide Alissia, but fabulous. She was so knowledgeable, she was able to answer everyone's questions. And the stories that she told were so interesting. She definitely knows her history of Venice, and she was so good about keeping our whole group together. I am handicapped walking with a cane, and she was wonderful about making sure that I was kept up with the group that she found me a chair to sit in,. If it was available. She was very easy to understand her English was so good. We are so glad that we chose this tour to go on. It was beyond my expectations.

Breeze past the queues and slip straight into Venice’s two most iconic landmarks without the wait.

With your guide as storyteller and curator, uncover hidden symbols, political intrigues, and legends that bring each room alive.

Walk through gilded chambers and frescoed halls where doges once ruled, then cross the Bridge of Sighs into the shadowy prisons.

Step into St. Mark’s Basilica, where 8,000 sq. m. of golden mosaics shimmer like starlight and marble floors echo centuries of worship.
