Even though we visited at the end of September Saint Mark Square, The Doge’s Palace and Saint Mark’s Basilica were all very crowded. Our skip the line access was excellent, but still a very crowded experience. The beauty of Saint Marks Basilica cannot be described in photos. It is best experienced in person.

Our flight was diverted due to a medical emergency onboard, making us so late arriving as to cause us to miss our private tour. Monica, our tour guide, worked with us to provide a slightly shorter tour, even meeting us at our hotel, though she did not have to per the change and cancellation policy. She gave insightful information abour St. Mark's and Doge's Palace. She also took time to answer our questions and give us tips for making the most of the rest of our time in Venice. We really can't say enough good about Monica!

She has been a “great guide” to tell us about the history and the important places at Doge’s palace and cathedral. She had also helped us to help get back home in the “water taxi” to train station while explaining the important facades along main canal. She’s fantastic.
