Most amazing views of Venice from the top, the only thing you need to know is that you have to go to the shop to pick up your tickets before going to the bell tower your get the guide codes are not what gets you in to the tower. So make sure you make extra time to pop along to the shop before the tower and give the VR experience before you go up. The staff of the company are so kind and friendly and happy to help with anything you need.

The VR experience was good. I wish it would have been a little more about how Venice was built, but overall it was an interesting film to watch. Walking from the meeting point to the bell tower and scanning our tickets was easy. The view from the bell tower was great!

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.
