Highlighted reviews from other travelers
The guide was passionate and gave us an amazing tour. She loved the history, and was just so much fun. I love the skip the lines, got us in quickly, and she pointed out events and areas we would have missed if we went on our own. Absolutely loved this tour!
Great tour guide, very knowledgeable with a sense of humour highly recommend

Know before you go
- Visits inside Saint Mark's Basilica are limited to a maximum of 15–20 minutes, as determined by Basilica authorities.
- Please note the importance of arriving on time, as each attraction operates on a strict schedule. Delays could result in missing your tour, and late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
- As Saint Mark's Basilica is a religious site, all visitors are required to wear appropriate attire. Both men and women must ensure that their shoulders and knees are covered.
- To ensure we can reach you with any updates to your reservation, please provide the correct telephone number, including the country code.
- During the summer season, please allow up to two hours to travel from the train station to Saint Mark’s Square, as water taxis are in high demand and delays are common due to heavy crowds.
