“Had not been able to visit on my kast several trips to Venice but finally sorted out my schedule. Well worth it! Like walking through time - so much is well preserved and accessible to the visitors. My bad - I cheaped out to save the few dollars but should have upgraded to audio tour. Regardless, well worth the visit.”

“On the visit to the church we spent less than 20 minutes inside and never were given an opportunity to see the altar. The guide spent more time talking about the different granite as opposed to the significant of the church to the community. In the Doge too much time being told about stuff that did not pertain to the background”
