A great, informative tour - Zoe is really friendly and helpful. My girlfriend forgot to bring something to cover her shoulders and Zoe was well prepared. She also does a really good job looking after the physically impaired and elderly who cannot walk very well by finding them elevators whenever possible.

St Mark’s Basilica and Doge Palace Tour - We really enjoyed and learned a lot from our small group tour with Rita. She was an excellent guide, very friendly, and had tons of knowledge that she enjoyed sharing with the group. Rita made the walk through of the basilica and palace much more meaningful and memorable than if we had done our own tickets. And given the business of St Mark’s Square during tourist season, frankly having a pro guide your through the chaos and point out the key locations and significant events makes the whole experience that il much more enjoyable.

Knowledgeable Guide but A Little Long for Kids - Our guide was very knowledgeable and the church and palace are both beautiful and worth the visit. Having a guide definitely enhanced the visit. We had a little trouble finding our guide but the tour company proactively called and got us to the right place. The tour is a bit long if you have kids in tow.
