Poor organization - We came to Venice for Easter weekend and booked this very costly private tour to make sure we have a good experience. But actually the agency made the wrong booking (at least they said) for the skip the line ticket for the Saint Marco basilica, and we ended up with not being able to see it, as the regular queue was too long. The guide we got did what she could to still make the best of the rest of the visit, but the basilica was supposed to be the highlight of our visit in Venice.
