A most prominent display of independence! - The mosaic walls, ceilings, and floors should not be missed. The tour guide told us the dual role of Mark as an apostle and saint displayed on the walls. Check out and count the sculptures on top of the iconic gates. Then ask a most important question... how many? The history, independence and pride of Venetians is remarkable then and today! So much knowledge and interesting stories shared by our guide! Worth the time and price.

Guide had only fair... - Guide had only fair English skills, heavy accent, but lots of knowledge. The crowd was so big that it was hard to keep together as a group and to stay in speaker range.

Couldn’t hear a thing. - Poor quality of listening device for all on tour. Paid money for someone to walk you round a corner & get buzzing noise in your ear. The chat may have been good but no way of telling. Everyone on the tour had the same issue. The quality of the mics & the listening radio was extremely poor.
