Accord agency did a good job in taking care of their clients. there's opportunities to grow in their QR code to access the museum via personal cellphone as audio guide. it was very slow to upload the audio guide app.

There was no guide, as all self-guided, but it included a really good Venice guide book, and a 3D Virtual Reality experience at the book store next door that was excellent. This Skip the line was a winner vs. the long regular line to go up the Bell Tower, but otherwise you are on your own.
