Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We were unable to purchase these tickets directly from the official government website as they were updating their system, so very happy available through GYG.
Superb. Miranda (?) was a brilliant guide. Huge experience and understanding of the history of Venice and very personable and engaging. A thoroughly interesting and worthwhile tour that added immensely to our enjoyment of our visit to Venice.
