Très bien, sauf qu' 1 h avec trajet compris depuis le Meeting Point, ça passe vite. Mais nous avons pu rester dans la basilique après la prestation de notre guide, ce qui nous a permis de revenir sur nos pas et de nous attarder en différents points pour une visite plus complète et minutieuse des lieux.

At this time (2:45 p.m.) the skip-the-line ticket is aptly named, before that queue of at least 1 hour Be careful with your outfit!! Shorts/skirt above the knees not accepted, same for uncovered shoulders. I advise you to do it without a guide unlike the Doge's Palace which requires explanations.

We didn't know where and how to get the audio... Whether it was the guide who distributed it to us or not... We went by chance to the tour operator's shop which was on the square. And, oh surprise to see that we had to collect our ticket and audio here! Other people were in the same situation as us.
