Venice - Anyone successfully visited the San Simeone Piccolo crypt?

I'm interested in seeing the underground crypt area of San Simeone Piccolo but the last instructions I've seen are essentially, "Ask the caretaker to show and he'll unlock it and give you a candle." As as cool and super Italian as that sounds I'm hoping to get some reassurance that this will actually work or that there is a more formal way to do this.

Anyone have any experience successfully doing this? Am I over thinking it?
This would be in March.

Thanks,

I dunno, Tod.

But if that’s the setup for the tour— be sure to leave your wallet in your hotel room!

And make sure your phone battery is fully charged so you can find your way out of the crypt when the candle goes out.

LOL, @Kenko I'll post a good photo of myself before I go in so they'll have something to use for the poster and description of what I was last seen wearing. ;)
