Excellent
We had a fantastic hour with our guide in the Saint Marks Basilica in Venice. We were one of only two groups in the basilica and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The tour didn’t feel rushed and our guide was very funny and knowledgeable. What a special feeling to be in the basilica after closing time, after seeing it packed during the day.

Being alone in Saint Mark's was amazing. I had already seen the church at daytime but, in the night with a small group and our group and guided by Martina, was an incredible experience. She performed a great tour. I do recommend 100%

FAQs
Can I use a wheelchair on this tour?
Yes, but we require advance notice in order to accommodate wheelchairs on this tour. After booking, please contact us so that we can organize a private tour for you. If we cannot find a guide to lead you that day we'll offer you the same tour on the next available date or give you credit for another tour anywhere else in the world.
Does St. Mark's Basilica have a dress code?
Yes. Because it is a holy place, St. Mark's Basilica insists that both men and women wear clothing that covers their shoulders and knees. They can and will refuse entry to anyone who does not meet this standard and we can't do anything about it, so come prepared.
Can I take a bag with me into St. Mark's Basilica?
You can only take small bags into St. Mark's. Anything bigger than a purse - backpacks or luggage - is prohibited. There is no coat check either, so do not bring any large bags with you.
What can I bring with me on this tour?
St. Mark's Basilica has very tight rules about what you can and cannot bring inside. Anything bigger than a purse - including backpacks or luggage - is NOT allowed inside the Basilica. There is no coat check either, so do not bring any bags larger than a purse with you.
