We are looking into a guided tour in Venice of St. Mark's Square, the Basilica and Doges Palace. I have contacted two companies listed in Rick Steves Italy guidebook. First is 2Guides4Venice for a 2 hour tour and second is Walks Inside Venice for a 3 hour tour. One difference seems to be that the shorter tour does not include the Bridge of Sighs and prison. 2Guides4Venice quote is much less than the other company. My only concern with 2Guides is the lack of recent reviews on Trip Advisor or Google. Does anyone have experience with either of these companies? Any thoughts on 2 vs 3 hours for the tour? Is 2 hours too short to see enough? Thanks in advance.

Walks of Italy had a nice Venice tour at one time. Did you check that out?

jodirmarvet, Did you ever get further info on these two companies? Who did you decide to go with? I'm looking to do a private tour of these same venues in May and liked that they offer small group tours. Walks of Italy offers a couple of interesting tours but their tour groups can be 20-25 people.

We booked with this company: http://www.walksinsidevenice.com/
Donatella is who I was emailing with. Unfortunately, we have had to postpone our trip for a family emergency so I can't comment on the tour itself. However, Donatella was easy to work with on the cancellation.
