Is your time in Venice limited? Would you rather spend your days in Venice eating, drinking, shopping and relaxing? Many visit Venice for just a day or two, meaning time is restricted if you're wanting to squeeze in the main sights.

• St. Mark's Square and St. Mark's Basilica
• Enjoy Skip the Line Entry into the Doges Palace
• An English-speaking professional guide
• A gondola ride
Public transportation options are available nearby

On certain dates, most travelers staying outside of Venice who are planning to visit for the day will be required to pay a €5 access fee. For further details (including exemptions) and to learn what days this fee is applicable, please visit: https://cda.ve.it

We were a group of 17 travelling for the first time to Venice. Our guide, Elena was very knowledgeable and was able to make the tour to the basilica and Doges palace interesting and engaging, especially for the children in the group. Highly recommended!

Elena was the best tour guide we have had on this trip! Her love of the area was apparent. The views and history are spectacular. We had a great time.

Elena was awesome! Being born and raised in Venice her love of the history and culture shines through. There were so many details of the Doge's Palace & St. Mark's Basilica that you cannot hope to understand without someone like Elena to guide you. More than worth it!
