It said to get there 15 minutes before start and to get there at 2:45 which makes you think it starts at 3. I tried to message someone as the vaporetto transport took more time than anticipated due to wait time and we were a few minutes late. We arrived at 2:59. The left at 2:45 and gave us 6 dollar to tickets to enter and had no way to get us to our guide. The tickets were in no way special and did not get us to any special areas. They need to re write the description to say to get there at 2:30 and they leave at 2:45. Newcomers to Venice may also have issues because google map times do not take into account the wait time to get onto the vaporetto.

It was okay, neither good nor bad. Of course the basilica is fabulous and must be visited. The guide was acceptable but not great.
