GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Our guide host, Anna, was incredible! She was with us inside for explanations for the first 30 minutes and new so much about the Basilica and history! This was a great surprise as we expected only audio. She had ear clips to hear easily and was easy to follow! Highly recommend! The Basilica is gorgeous and rich with history - everyone including kids age 10-12 enjoyed!CConor S
SoloVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5I bought a 24 hour unlimited pass which was great. I got to see beautiful islands of Murano & Burano, as well as getting to whizz through the stunning Venice landmarks along the water. Would have been improved if I was supplied with a map of the different stops etc, but all in all a great experience and will use again!!JJoanna W
GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5A fantastic tour package. The beautiful Basilica, combined with a guide who gave a very interesting account of the place. She covered the entire history. The Doge’s Palace was amazing, as were the other sites. A very good choice.AAlicia E
SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5This was the best way to travel around Venice and surrounding islands. I took the bus from the mainland into Venice and then the water taxis/boats to Murano and Burano. The only confusing part was where to get the actual physical ticket. I just purchased a 75 minute bus ticket to get me to Venice, made my way to where the train departs and redeemed my ticket there. I think once you get it from the machine it is validated or it may need to be scanned on the machine to get validated. After that it works at the boat and bus booths. I chose to ride the bus over taking the train since it goes to the city center and there was a bus station right outside of my hotel. Phone maps have also become really easy to read to show when the next transportation should be arriving. In most cases both the buses and water boats were within 5 minutes of their arrival time every time! Only one time did I have to wait for another water boat but it was nearing late afternoon and everyone was heading back to Venice.AAnastasia F
FamilyVerified bookingLast week5/5Our guide in St. Mark’s, Michela, was excellent and very helpful. I have a comment regarding the admission process at the Doge’s Palace. On the website, before proceeding to payment, it was clearly stated that we could enter at any time on the day of our choice. However, the tickets indicated that the admission time was between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m.
