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.

    Our tour guide was helpful, lovely, and accomodating. She taught us a lot of interesting things. It was nice to skip lines and get so much insight. However, it was difficult at times to stay close enough to hear her, and we did not have any time to linger in places that interested us.

    Clair is a very wonderful host and tour guide. She gave this a unique experience with succinct history lesson that you can't necessarily attain the information with the reading available at each point of interest. She is also very energetic, so it felt more like an immersive in person experience. Great experience and really cool to find out more about the history of Venice. Clair also helped me find a list item!

    Lots of walking and steps. There is a break and a chance to use the toilette. The pace is fast but the information provided brings the places to life.
