Private Venice Tour: St. Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, and Gondola Ride

The Tour Guy provided a supreme tour experience. We had a larger group so we did a private group tour of St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace. The experience for our group was a little unorganized for the gondola ride, but it was a very busy day so we just waited. The gondola ride just was the icing on the cake for our visit to Venice as we felt we had experienced it all after that. Great job! I would highly recommend using The Tour Guy for any of your Tour requirements around the globe.
