Was a nice tour. Our guider was knowledgeable and kind. She just talked a little too slow and it was very hot in the church. Need to be quicker on hot days.

The basilica is gorgeous. Although very nice, the tour guide told more pious legends than actual history.

Although the guide seemed to be knowledgeable, it was very difficult to understand. We have been on several other guided tours with guides that had accents, but this was definitely the hardest for us English speakers to understand. Aside from that, this tour was also packed and hot, that may just be a symptom of the landmark itself. Nonetheless, I would recommend a self tour of the Basilica.

It is incredibly difficult to listen with one earpiece, take photos, and follow a group through a crowd. We never knew how long we would stop and where.

We were quite disappointed when we got to Rome's train station and found our train canceled because of a rail strike which we knew nothing about. We called right away to tell them we were unable to get to Venice and they refused to give us a refund because it was past their 24 hour deadline. Evidently this rail strike was planned and we had no way to know that. Trip advisor/Viator also refused a refund. Please check ahead of time and don't let this happen to you!

We could not find the meeting place. The instructions were not clear and vague. We found it only to be outside a shop. By this time it was too late. I communicated this with the team to see if we could reschedule and they were most unhelpful.

Visit in impeccable French with a Venetian guide who was able to share the many details of the basilica.

Great guide. Good explanations and history. Nice time length. The meeting spot was not where we expected it to be however.

We have requested a refund. Our guide took 45 minutes to get us into the tour then before the entrance of the church she said she would share 15 minutes with us and then we would have to guide ourselves. Please refund our money
