“BEWARE of Viator for they will not hold good to there word. I booked this tour but Viator sent the incorrect information to the tour company (the wrong time to start the tour). So, I missed my original tour. The tour company gave me a lesser tour but said I had to get with Viator for a refund for the difference in the cost of the tours. Viator denied the refund.”
Vivaldi's Four Seasons live in San Vidal, plus Venice's Music Museum with 200 original instruments from 1600 to 1900.

“A tour guide walked with us to the area of the gondolas. She talked a little bit about history and some landmarks in Venice. Very polite and nice.”

“Murano and Burano were my favourite part of the trip. Museums were smaller venues. A bit of chore to get to the islands. Kinda fun riding the vaporetto... but it was way to busy. Standing room only. Doges Palace was alright. Not so busy. I didn't get a guide and probably would have got more our of it. Idk... just came from the Uffizi on Florence... and Doges palace pales by comparison Didn't use the pads for any other venues. No time.”
Skip-the-line, guided Venice tour covering Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Basilica, Bridge of Sighs, plus an optional Campanile Bell Tower climb.
“To observe the glass makers is truly remarkable! Such an art ! Our tour guide , Julia , enhanced the experience with her knowledge of the area. Recommend requesting a private tour with her. FYI, her English is perfect !”
