I have been waiting to return to St. Mark's Cathedral for 30 years. This evening tour was exactly what I had been waiting for. Our guide was really knowledgeable, the amount of people in the cathedral was very manageable and the the beauty of it in the evening was absolutely AMAZING! Thank you.

We had the best tour guide yesterday. Martina made a tour not just educational and interesting, but also added some humor to the history.

Grace was an excellent guide. She did a fantastic job interpreting St Marks for us. She made the tour feel ver special.

This is a suggestion: NOT A REVIEW. I recommend a laser pointer to highlight the icons, if it does not damage them. The other tours crowded us a little. I think our tour left a minute early, but we caught up to the last group. They were efficient and welcoming.
