Informative and fun! - Our tour guide (Diana) was great! She provided so much information and was a great story teller. We really enjoyed our tour. We learned so much more than we would have if we just went on our own.

A must do - A must do while in Venice to understand the legal system in the past centuries of the city. Doge’s palace has remarkable artwork and the tour guide explained each room in detail. The Basilica has a great view of the clock tower and square along with beautiful artwork inside.

Great Tour, Great Guide, Great City - Our tour with Crown Tours had the ideal guide, a history teacher! The guide covered all of the highlights and took her time to allow us to ask questions and stop for photos. An amazing inside look at St. Mark’s Cathedral and the Doge’s Palace. 100% worth it!

Interesting, crowded, informative! - Great way to skip the lines and see two of the sights. Of course it’s still very, very crowded. Our guide was great - informative, funny, and communicative. Two hours was a long time to be on my feet and absorbing historical information, but I’m glad I took the time to see these sites. Don’t recommend if you’re not into history, art, etc.. I won’t retain all of the info shared, but it was wonderful to be in the presence of such history.
