The groups were quite large but they gave out headsets so you could always hear what was being said. I think the tour operators upgraded me as I was alone because I also got entrance and a tour of St Mark's Basilica and although the group for that part was HUGE and it was incredibly crowded it was well worth it as it was spectacular inside. A great introduction to Venice.</p>

Informative tour with nice guide and technical problems - The walking tour through Venice in the morning was informative and cosy in a small group of approximately 10 people. our guide was a venician woman, who also told us some free tourist hacks like cheap bars and free toilets. Also the tour in doges palace was nicely done. The only thing, that was not good about the tour was the broken microphone of the guide. Sometimes her voice was too low volume to unterstand.
