Lack of crowds....
Irene_C, Oct 2023
Lack of crowds. Personal attention to details by the guide. Limited number of people in the group. Con: did not bring his laser pointer.

Boring
theresa_n, Sep 2023
Im sorry to say we found this tour a bit boring, it was an audio tour and our guide was very monotone. The inside of the Basilica was beautiful inside, but I wish we had just wandered around ourselves

Sheryl_B, Aug 2023

Great Guide
Roxanne_R, Aug 2023
Gabriella, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing! She was so knowledgeable and friendly - her passion for the subject was evident and it made the entire experience enjoyable. The only downside was that the headset provided by the tour company was full of static, making it difficult for us to hear her. Luckily, we were a small group so we all decided to ditch the head sets and Gabriella just projected her a voice so we could all hear. Thank you Gabriella for sharing your city's rich history with us!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Ciao Roxann! We're all so very happy that you had a wonderful time with Gabriella at the incredible St. Mark's. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of Venice really does bring history to life. And thank you for letting us know about the headsets. We'll be sure to pass this along to our partners to make sure they are checked. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon! Grazie mille! Amanda
Great evening tour of the church!
Vijay_g, Jun 2023
It was an amazing experience visiting the church on an evening tour with lights! Our elderly guide, forget her name, was extremely knowledgeable and made it a memorable experience! We had a great time!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Dear Vijay, Thank you very much for this review. The evening tour is indeed a must see. The atmosphere is truly amazing and we are so glad you enjoyed your tour with us!
Night tour of St Marks basilica
Louise_B, Jun 2023
Gabriella was an excellent guide well informed and friendly. We loved the experience of sitting in the dark inside the Basilica as they slowly put the lighting on. This was an excellent small group tour with just a few other small groups with you in the building at the same time.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hi Louise, thanks for the review! Witnessing the beauty of St. Mark's Basilica after hours and seeing the lights turn on one by one is truly an incredible experience and we're so happy that you enjoyed it! Gabriella will also be so delighted to hear your kind words as well. Thank you again for booking with us and we would love to have you with us again in Italy or any other location you are keen to travel. All the best! Sarah
