Both tours were absolutely amazing! Flivia/Flavia (don’t remember the spelling) was very knowledgeable and entertaining when taking us to the islands and pointing things out along the way. Barbara was also very knowledgeable about the palace and the church! Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend

Our tour guide was very good. Rain prevented us from the gondola ride but the rest of the tour was good.

Excellent tour with two great guides, Fellipo and Cecelia. Glass factory glass master was amazing. Burano was nice, just not long enough. Trip back to St. Mark's Basilica was long. Doges Palace was very nice and St. Mark's Basilica was fantastic.
