Additional Info

Public transportation options are available nearby

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

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.

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.

    A lot of stairs. Was hot in the palace and church. Cover shoulders in church. Guide was difficult to understand because of language.

    So much history and amazing art and craftsmanship it is hard to take it all in. Overwhelming. This tour hit some “must see” locations and Zoey was great. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Absolutely fascinating.

    I booked this tour thinking it included a full tour of St. Mark’s. Unfortunately, the majority of the time was spent in the Doge’s Palace with only about 30 minutes in St. Mark’s. Our ticket did not include the Altar piece and other works of art. I would advise customers to review all of the ticket options for St. Mark’s before deciding on this tour.
