Friendly and informative guide. Tour ran on time and was enjoyable

Worst tour we have ever had, and we travel a lot. When we got to the area, we searched in vain for the designated meeting spot. We had to ask many, many tour guides before finding out what to do. We could have dealt with that. Our tour guide was the main problem. Our group was large maybe 50 peop ...

What an amazing place. The tour team located under the clock in St. Mark's Square was just two people passing things out, so make sure you are early for your tour time. We had a great guide, but the people we were with that ended up in another group left early due to their guide.

The Palace itself gets increasingly difficult to manage,even with a good guide as provided by viator. She managed to avoid the worsts of the bottlenecks and to give us the maximum information with least possible hassle.

Wry good guide, even with a large group she held our attention. Her debi and background made her historical facts very interesting.
We would recommend this two part tour. Meeting location while lots,of tour groups meeting at the same time was pretty efficient.

Was a nice tour, but was chaotic at times. At one point we couldn't hear our guide talking since there was interference from another guide. But it was an amazing tour. I would recommend this tour!
