Great tour once it got going but inaccurate to say it lasts 75 minutes when loads of that is getting to the ticket office and waiting for the guide. We had a start time of 10:15 and got in the basilica at 11am.

Elena was an incredible guide! Her stories were so captivating and interesting that even our teenagers were fully engaged. I learned so much about Venice’s history in a fun and memorable way. Highly recommend her tour for anyone wanting a deeper, more engaging understanding of this beautiful city!
