Estuvo muy bien lo que es la guía y la visita. Sin embargo, la cola que tuvimos que hacer a pleno sol y con una peque de 2 años no fue normal teniendo ya el bono cogido con anterioridad. Ese tipo de gestiones deberían estar mejor gestionadas de antemano. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide and the tour were very good. However, the line we had to wait in, in the blazing sun and with a 2-year-old, was unusual, considering we had already purchased our pass in advance. These types of arrangements should be better managed in advance. Opinion translated. Show original.

petit groupe de 6 personnes avec une guide très intéressante qui nous a fait connaitre l'essentiel, parmi tant de merveilles. ponctualité, pas d'attente, alternance d'histoire de Venise et explications des oeuvres d'art. Il est vrai que le billet est cher, mais pour les services rendus c'est justifié Translate this opinion into English.

Small group of 6 people with a very interesting guide who showed us the essentials, among so many wonders. Punctuality, no waiting, alternating history of Venice and explanations of the works of art. It is true that the ticket is expensive, but for the services provided it is justified Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad estuvo bien, aunque no estoy seguro de que la relación coste-valor esté justificado. La guía muy bien, pero los aparatos de escucha que nos facilitaron eran malos: Como te separaras mucho de la guía, se perdía la señal, por lo que te ibas enterando de la explicación a medias.

The activity was good, although I'm not sure the value for money was justified. The guide was very good, but the listening devices they provided were poor: If you strayed too far from the guide, the signal was lost, so you only got a partial understanding of the explanation.

Como puntos positivos: considero necesario realizar la visita a la basílica y al Palacio Ducal con una persona que te explique todos los detalles y la historia tras estos edificios históricos. Adicionalmente, te permite ahorrarte mucho tiempo en colas. Adicional, tienes entradas para otros museos incluidas en el precio. A mejorar: dada la diferencia entre hacerlo por libre y con guía (50 euros), creo que debería ser más completa, ya que “pasas por encima” de muchas cosas y va demasiado rápido.

On the positive side: I think it's essential to visit the basilica and the Doge's Palace with someone who can explain all the details and the history behind these historic buildings. It also saves you a lot of time waiting in lines. Plus, you get tickets to other museums included in the price. Improvements: Given the difference between doing it independently and with a guide (€50), I think it should be more comprehensive, as it "skims over" many things and goes too quickly.

La avctividad de esta mañana ha sido exelente, nuestra guia explicaba muy bien, se notaba que sabia de lo que hablaba en los 2 sitios i nos ha hecho entender desde los aspectos arquitectonicos hasta la decoración, a de mas, era muy bromista i nos reiamos con sus bromas . Jajajaja. Sobre todo, me encanta no hacer cola, seguid asi. Translate this opinion into English.

This morning's activity was excellent. Our guide explained things very well. It was clear she knew what she was talking about in both places, and she made us understand everything from the architectural aspects to the decor. She was also very playful, and we laughed at her jokes. Hahaha. Above all, I love not having to wait in line. Keep it up. Opinion translated. Show original.

En la basílica de san Marcos tuvimos como guía a una señora que se llamaba Mila. Comprendemos que había mucha gente, tuvimos que esperar para entrar, pero la visita la hizo a las carreras y sin casi explicaciones. Por eso ponemos valoración normal por no poner mala. En cambio para el Palacio Ducal hicimos la visita con Marina, fenomenal, todo genial explicado y muy interesante. Si tuviésemos que calificarla a ella pondríamos excelente Translate this opinion into English.

At St. Mark's Basilica, we were guided by a woman named Mila. We understand there were a lot of people, and we had to wait to get in, but she ran the tour quickly and with almost no explanations. That's why we gave it a normal rating, rather than a bad one. For the Doge's Palace, however, we took the tour with Marina, who was phenomenal; everything was explained brilliantly and was very interesting. If we had to give her a rating, we would give her an excellent rating. Opinion translated. Show original.

Era un día muy caluroso, la guía, Analisa, se ve que estaba apurada. Hizo la visita como corriendo una carrera, no nos esperaba, hablaba x los pasillos y se cortaba el audio, no nos mostró la palabra de oro de la basílica!!!!! Por ejemplo, hizo una visita fugaz x dentro. Nunca nos explicó q íbamos a pasar x el puente de los suspiros! Etc. Etc. Muchos errores !! Pagar tanto dinero para una guía así no vale la pena!

It was a very hot day, the guide, Analisa, was obviously in a hurry. She conducted the tour as if she were running a race, she wasn't waiting for us, she kept talking in the hallways and the audio kept cutting out, she didn't show us the golden arch of the basilica! For example, she only briefly visited the inside. She never explained that we were going to pass by the Bridge of Sighs! Etc. Etc. So many mistakes!! Paying so much money for a guide like that isn't worth it!

Los guías hacen lo posible por respetar los tiempos de la visita realizando el recorrido al completo y proveyendo todas las explicaciones necesarias. Aun así, sentimos si el ritmo seguido resultó acelerado. Ya hemos tomado nota de los comentarios para seguir mejorando. Translate this opinion into English.
