Our tour guide Mika was excellent. You were fully engaged in his narratives. Learned so much about Venice, St Mark and the Dolce.

The Doge's Palace was a very interesting place to visit; however, we were running low on time and thus the guide didn't guide us through the Doge's apartment. Also, the guide was very difficult to hear with the radio devices that we were issued.

This was an excellent tour. Christina, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about Venice, its history, and willingly shared it. We learned a lot from her. We highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of the time we spent in Venice.

Enjoyed Veronica, but didn't like the device to hear her. The ear piece hurt our ears and occaoccasionally decided not to work. Veronica's accent was sometime hard to understand. Thank you for some great memories.

The tour itself was informative and interesting but too long. Too much time was spent discussing and analyzing paintings, especially in the Doge's Palace. Also the quality of the headsets and transmitters was quite poor and made it difficult to hear the guide clearly.
