Having no background on the basilica, the tour guide we had made the visit worthwhile by giving background to the site, along with enriching it with local insights to Venice and Venetian history.

Our Guide Elena was fun & very informative & we had a very enjoyable tour about the history of Venice since it’s earliest days as a marshy refuge from conquering forces and we loved the tour of the cathedral. She showed us many interesting and unusual things we would’ve probably missed if we haven’t had the tour.

The only problem is that our online QR code Venice Tours ticket didn’t include clear enough instructions or details that we don’t meet her outside Cathedral but somewhere else!!

We had to come to the Venice tours office to meet the group which isn’t that easy to find! So we missed our tour slot, but they kindly let us go an hour later, which we are very grateful for.
