Absolutely fabulous. Impressive building and wonderful guide. Very impressed.
Barbara, our guide was entertaining and informative and clearly has a great love of Venice and particuary St Mark's Basilica. Through this tour we were able to see more detail in the beautiful mosaics and the meaning and the messages within them.
