Para d'Oro is a must-see. It's hard to see the beauty, the heritage from the Byzantine Empire. The guide speaks clearly and slowly, thinking about people whose native language is not English. I highly recommend this tour.
Guided tour by Monica, very well given and interesting. Surprising monuments of beauty, a must-see if you pass through Venice.
Very pleasant tour with Monica through the neighborhoods of San Paolo, San Marco, and the Doge's Palace. We learned a lot about the history of Venice!
Alex was very knowledgeable, funny, friendly, helpful and punctual. We used radio devices to hear the guide and that worked perfectly. Also, we didn't have to wait at any lines. Money well spent!
Alex did an amazing job! He was very informative
