The Basilica of San Marcos is spectacular... All covered with tile inside and part of the outside... Quite complete since you access the interior and go up the "balcony" of the upper floor The Ducal Palace, very good too. .. huge and highly decorated rooms with paintings by the artists of the time The guide very well too

The meeting point was easy to find (link in the app) and the preparation of the groups went quite quickly. The audio support is recommended because there is so much to learn. Our support was just great. Her enormous knowledge paired with humor made the tour a great experience. Background information about the buildings, their origin as well as about the paintings, rulers and current affairs were unique. Because of the maps we didn't have to queue anywhere. Thanks

The skip-the-line ticket seems essential. Indeed, even in February (rather off-peak period), there was a long queue. Then, the visit may be quite quick and may be less interesting without any explanation. There are indeed a few legends in the Doge's Palace, but they remain succinct (one date only, for example). We enjoyed the visit to both sites as we rarely take a guide. The visit lasted about 2h30 and the ticket gives free access to the city museum and the library (on the same day). I therefore recommend the visit despite its rather high price. PS: our guide was very available and spoke French very well
