Outstanding tour with Cristina! - Tour started on time and Cristina provided detailed information about San Marco Basilica and Doge’s Palace. She also answered lots of questions and made the tour much more memorable. My family does 100% recommend this tour for when in Venice!

Very nice experience - Very nice experience. I learned many things about Venice, about the basilica, about its architecture, about the value of works of art. Cristina was a very pleasant guide and she answered all our questions.

Absolute scam! - Booked the tour due to “skip the line” component. Less than an hour prior to the starting time received message from the tour guide urging me to go queue up as “they have run out of skip the line tickets”. Viator was not helpful and refused to refund $60+ paid. Queues were so long there was no way we would go, so we just lost our money.
