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.

This was an awesome tour. Super informative and interesting. Our guide had a huge amount of energy and enthusiasm. We found out many things we would have had no idea about if we had gone by ourselves. So glad we did this tour. Recommended to all!

Well, my guys, what can I say? During this three hour two, my tour guide actively spoke for at least two hours, my guys, and said “my guys” on average once per minute or so. Thus, my guys, I mainly heard, “well my guys,” these men did this or that and then this happened and they did this or that, my guys. My guys, I’ve never had a tour ruined by the constant repetition of a phrase, but there’s a first time for everything my guys.

Our guide Gi was wonderful. She was aware of each persons likes and dislikes and took care for everyone to have the choices they favored. Very knowledgeable and and had me eating foods I never would’ve tried and enjoying them.
