The Basilica was beautiful and I wish we would have had a more extraordinary experience. The guide we had was lovely but was uninteresting and didn't give a very good tour because of the dry material she shared.

Laura was a great tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job explaining and showing us everything about St. Marks Basilica. The only thing that was a little hard was the meeting spot. There was not a
Clear sign, flag, or anything like other tours have, therefore it was hard to find out meeting spot. Overall, great experience!
