Francesca was our tour guide and she was excellent. She spoke into a microphone that wirelessly connected to earphones that she gave us. She was attentive to making sure we could hear her as we traveled through the busy Venice streets. She filled in our journey with wonderful stories and history lessons.

Guide was sweet. Terrible weather obviously affected enjoyment. Got to learn a lot around San Marco. Church visit really short, maybe 10-15 minutes.

Our guide Christina was great and was very informative about the city, not just the basilica and showed us some nice quiet parts around Venice. Skip the line tickets was great given the wet weather! Highly recommended
