This was a slightly condensed but AMAZING tour if you are a little limited on time (or have people with shorter attentions spans like teens). Very happy to have this option as sadly we only had 24 hours in Venice and desparately wanted to see these sights. The tour guide was pleasant, passionate, and informative. LOVED getting to see these gorgeous, historic, and holy places!
