“Booked specifically for the ‘Skip the Line’ and were told upon arrival that sometimes the Basillica decide not to uphold this. I mean, maybe that’s plausible but there was nothing in the booking that states this possibility. So we had to endure 50mins in the blistering sunshine (35degrees) before we got in. The guide gave us a History of Venice whilst we waited which was good but not what we had paid for.”

“The tour operator cancelled the tour without notifying us. The directions for the meeting point were not specific. They said to meet in front of the Church of San Zaccaria, but not exactly where. They failed to mention that we were to check in at the ticket office, which was in the square. At that point, it was too late to book another tour.”
