Our guide Tullio gave us a very in-depth look into the history, art, culture and architecture of the region. Fascinating and enhanced the sites tremendously. She was very accommodating for my bad knee as well. Got some great photos and was very happy with the tour.

This was an incredible tour! We had visited St. Mark's Basilica about 20 years ago and had a tour that brought us through the Basilica so quickly I hardly had a chance to see it. At that time, I knew I wanted to return at some point in my life to see it again. I finally had the chance this summer and, after reading their stellar reviews, we decided to book this tour with LivTours and it did not disappoint! Our tour guide was amazing and took the time to walk through the Basilica to explain so many details about the design and history. We also had a chance to walk out on the terrace to get an incredible view of the square. Our tour of Doge's Palace was equally wonderful. We were in a small group of only 5 people which included our family of 3 and a lovely couple. We thought, particularly for the size of the group, length, depth and breadth of the tour, it was an incredible value for the price we paid. There was also a lot of communication prior to the tour to make sure we had all information we needed prior to the tour. I highly recommend LivTours!
