Bring your passport or ID card in order to prove your age if you have selected a discounted ticket.

Do not bring large bags or luggage. These items are not allowed and there is no place to leave them so you will be denied entry.

Acqua Alta (high tide) in Venice can cause delays in entering the Basilica.

Sites visited during this tour are subject to occasional closures due to holy observances, high tides, and flooding. If a site closes, your guide will tour the exterior of the site. If time permits, you will be contacted before your tour. For last-minute closures, modifications may be communicated at the tour start time.

Basilica is a holy place, both men and women must wear clothing that covers the belly, shoulders and knees.

Religious authorities may decide to suspend skip-the-line priority because of the high number of visitors. We are only allowed to stay inside the Basilica for 20 minutes.

In case of denied access, you will be provided with entrance tickets to visit the Basilica on your own at the assigned time.

If you take the 2:00 PM tour, the Correr Museum will be closed before your tour finishes. Therefore, you will have Correr tickets for the next day

Please note that carrying any type of weapon or sharp objects, such as a knife, is not allowed for this tour.

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

Clients must arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start of the tour. This is due to the timed entry of the tickets.

    Sarah our guide was amazing. Her knowledge was very impressive. I learned so much about the history of Venice, the artwork, surrounding area and how it was built. It was absolutely amazing.

    Our guide Claire was absolutely fantastic. Full of energy and explained what we were seeing, history, etc., in a way that was not by any means boring. Doge’s Palace was incredible, and walking the Bridge of Sighs was sobering. St. Mark’s Basilica was glorious in all its gold-leafed splendor. We did pay the extra Euros to see the original Bronze Horses in the museum. Definitely worth the 7 Euro. Entire experience was awesome and awe inspiring.
