Fascinating - Denise is an excellent tour guide. Informative and humorous. It’s a fascinating tour. Lots to see, amazing views, rich history. You have the option to do a self-guided audio tour or a tour with a tour guide. I highly recommend the tour with the guide.

Mixed experience. Excessive price. - The basilica is beautiful, as well as the palace. However, the so-called "audioguide" is not up to the task at all. The information is fragmented and we do not know what the guide is talking about. Moreover, the timing of the visit is too tight. We had poru the basilica at 2pm, then we made the dog palace from which we came out at 4:40pm. However, admission to the museums is only possible until 5pm. So we couldn't get there. So the price seems clearly excessive.

Overpriced disappointment - The entire tour seemed very disorganized. Firstly, the speaker/headsets were effectively useless since they were extremely choppy and had static noise for everyone in our tour. Secondly, the Basillica tour was rushed and very little info was given. Save your money and go to the Campanile and/or San Giorgio.

Poor directions in confirmation email led to us missing half the tour and company didn’t offer any refund - We booked our tour through Headout Inc. once received the confirmation email we clicked on the link for directions of where to meet for our tour and printed it out so we weren’t relying on WIFI in Venice. Upon arrival on Sept 21, 2025 and before the tour time of 2:45 pm we arrived at the location but it was the wrong location. It looked like a Gondola stop and the Tour Shop was not there. By the time we found the Tour Shop we had already missed the first part of the guided tour St Marks Basilica with Terrace. The guys at the Tour Shop said to wait there for the second part of the tour and to email about our issues to a contact email. We had asked for a partial refund. The only reason we gave 2 stars is because we at least got to do Doge Palace. The audio equipment was an issue for me. It wasn’t working consistently so I missed out on a lot but the building and art were amazing. Audio wasn’t an issue for my husband. Guide for tour was great and knowledgeable he said. After our trip we tried to follow up on our request for a partial refund. Did not hear anything back from the Tour Shop or Headout Inc. We gave it over a month. We won’t be using them again and don’t recommend them.

Lucrative mass tourism - The welcome guide for visiting the basilica did not speak French with the French group. Visit in 5 minutes chrono. Narrative of the audio guide without much interest... The audio guide & wifi of the Doge’s Palace did not work! Anyway... a vast, well-oiled scam.

Insulted in French and Italian for no reason - Tours shop srl Venice I would like to express my horror at the treatment I received this morning when picking up my tickets for a tour. I obviously mistakenly booked for a tour wiith audioguide instead of a guided tour from get your guide. I was one of the first clients in the shop at 9:45 and I was initially ignored by the two agents. thinking that since I already have my online tickets I only have to wait for the guide. Unfortunately a short and kind request to a small French speaking agent (in a striped pullover), about the procedure at about 10:10 turned out into an insulting and disrespectful response which carried on once I waited in the line and reached the front desk. The young man would not impart his name. He insulted me in French and Italian. It is a shame that a guest who pays for a service is treated in such a bad manner. This man must not be allowed to deal with guests. He was obviously overwhelmed by the amount of people waiting to be served. 2 frech speaking guests reminded him that understood French and his bad language. It was not a good way to start my holiday.
