'Easy to book, printing ticktets a pest'
Ticket
St. Mark's Basilica in Venice - Skip the line Entry
I used Venetoinside.com to purchase various tickets for skip the queue, museum access etc., this was easy to do and not expensive. The only down side was the requirement to print tickets for the skip the queue, this is not environmental or easy to do when you are already in Venice. Other than that I would recommend.
Strengths
Comprehensive choice
Weaknesses
Requirement to print tickets for certain activities

'Venice'
Ticket
St. Mark's Basilica in Venice - Skip the line Entry
The tour was good but we were not aware of the fact that you had to pay twice while inside to see other elements of the church which we thought were included with our ticket.
Strengths
The skip the line tickets are a good deal anywhere in Italy.
Weaknesses
We were told by one of the employees that our skip the line tickets were not good for the day because of the floods. Unfortunately this information was wrong as others who had skip the line tickets simply went to the front of line and were given preferred entrance. We were not aware of this. Would have been good information to have.

'Skip the queue'
Ticket
St. Mark's Basilica in Venice - Skip the line Entry
The Basilica is well worth a visit and we were able to go straight in without queuing with our skip the queue ticket. The entrance was easy to find.
Strengths
Would recommend paying to go up to the roof for great views of the square and the mosaic walls are beautiful.
Weaknesses
The church was quite crowded even on a Monday afternoon in late October and not much to see inside without paying extra.

'Greta service'
Ticket
St. Mark's Basilica in Venice - Skip the line Entry
Everything went fine. No line, friendly guards, clear explanations. I recommend the service especially if you have little time to wait on line.

'very nice'
Ticket
St. Mark's Basilica in Venice - Skip the line Entry
the skip line ticket is not necessary if it's not high season for tourism. If I knew, I wouldn't have took one. We were end of october in Venezia.

Dear Marie,
thank you for your feedback.
We are happy to hear from you that you appreciated our skip the line service!
Please note, that the skip the line ticket can be booked during the high season only, i.e. from April 1st to Nov 2nd, in order to facilitate the access to St Mark's Basilica and to save the precious time of all our guests.
During the low season, in fact, as there is not so much queue, that ticket is not fundamental.
Thank you for choosing Venetoinside.com
Best regards,The venetoinside.com staff

'Service is a scam'
Ticket
St. Mark's Basilica in Venice - Skip the line Entry
I booked online half an hour before my scheduled entry to St Marc because the Place was flooded and I could see queues of people waiting on footbridges. What I didn’t know is the reserved entrance was closed because of the high waters. Despite purchasing express entry tickets, we had to queue nevertheless. They knew they could not deliver the service when I purchased my tickets but they took the money nevertheless, rightly thinking tourists wouldn’t care being robbed a small amount. They knew their express entrance door was already closed when I booked and opened the slot nevertheless. No refund of course! A scam is a scam!
Strengths
Steals money from tourists, which is good because there are too many.
Weaknesses
It is shameful to sell tickets when you cannot provide the service you charged for and don’t offer a refund.

Dear customer,
we are sorry that your skip the line ticket could not be used that day, unfortunatly the phenomenon of high tide can't be predicted in advance.
The Procuratoria di San Marco, which is the organ in charge with the baslica management, reserves the right to prohibit visits and access to the basilica at any time and without notice for reasons of force majeure (e.g. high water) and/or safety reasons, religious services not specified on the calendar and/or state visits.
We didn't receive any email from you notifying the problem, please send us an email to info@insidecom.it so we can double check the case.
Best regards,The venetoinside.com staff

Dear Joanie,
thank you for your positive review.
On our website we specify that there are extra costs if tourists desire to visit special parts of St Mark's Basilica, we are sorry you did not see it.
As regards the management of the skip the line entry, even if there is high tide we try to do our best in order to provide this service, however St Mark's Basilica reserves the right to prohibit visits and access to the basilica at any time and without notice for reasons of force majeure (e.g. high tide) and/or safety reasons.
Best regards,In your case maybe you received wrong information from someone who was not part of Insidecom team.
We are sorry for that!
