Excellent Guide - Marco
Marco from Crown tours was excellent. He knew all the history , art, and pop culture to facilitate our understanding of what we were seeing at the palace and Basilica. He made the tour very enjoyable.

Very easy fast track entry with guided tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and the duomo and basilica were gorgeous. The use of a mic and headphone made listening to guide very easy, even in a crowded room.
Poor organization by rough people
Meeting needs a lot of improvement. Two/three people giving indications and where contradicting each other. When asking for clarification they had rough answers, as if the were tire of people asking. The timing between groups makes this situation even more difficult, we are tourist spending a good time and learning about Venice, this is not an army following confusing directions. I am very disappointed with the people receiving. These people need to be gentle and better organized.
