Excellent company and guide. - Punctuality, I was sent several reminders days before and on the same day, which I find excellent if you have multiple tours. The guide Marco excellent, very nice and knowledgeable. I recommend Crown Tours 100%.

Good deal; nice self guided tour - Good deal for the two tickets, worth it. Only annoyance was you have to go to a separate location to pick up the virtual tickets an hour prior to entry- so when you get to this location they give you a code which you download audio (if included it upon booking) and then need to self navigate it upon arrival to the palace or the basilica. Overall saves some money for sure and overall good deal we enjoyed the self guidedness of the tour at your own pace.

Don't miss this experience - Amazing place to see. I highly recommend it. The agency staff were very helpful and efficient. Explained everything clearly and even recharged my phone, when it died.

Worthwhile - This was a very slick way to see these two Greatest hits of Venice! Finding the tourist office to get the tickets is a bit of a treasure hunt. Plan ahead and allow for time to get a little lost. We were a bit lucky on that point. Nevertheless, we picked up everything we needed quickly and efficiently and enjoyed stress-free tours. I recommend it, no question.

Main attractions - St marks basilica isn’t worth the money, it’s literally a gold church inside done within 2 mins, however a lot more to doges palace. Deffo recommend getting skip the line tickets as when all the tourists arrive the lines are insane

Great History Lesson - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave such detailed information about the history of the Doges and paintings. For somebody who came in knowing nothing, three of us left with a ton of information as to how Venice operated and how the politicians worked within the building. Even before we entered the building she shared information about the square and pointed out areas that we should check out afterwards.

Rip off - They make you download an audio guide on your own phone BUT because there is no reception in the basilica you can’t use it at all. Total rip off.

Get your tickets on the Doges Palace website and download Rick Steves audio guide of the palace. - The most memorable moment was when we arrived at the office of the company and the group had left early. No one alerted me, no one took responsibility. I did receive the tickets to the palace but had to guide my group through myself. Disappointing and a lot of work.

We were told to be at... - We were told to be at Venice tours at 10:45 for a 11:15 tour of the Doge Palace. We were not told to be there much earlier for the Basilica tour. By the time the Doge Palace tour was over, all the Basilica tours had finished. We were not able to tour the Basilica although we paid for it
