Excellent
I have been waiting to return to St. Mark's Cathedral for 30 years. This evening tour was exactly what I had been waiting for. Our guide was really knowledgeable, the amount of people in the cathedral was very manageable and the the beauty of it in the evening was absolutely AMAZING! Thank you.

We had the best tour guide yesterday. Martina made a tour not just educational and interesting, but also added some humor to the history.

This is a suggestion: NOT A REVIEW. I recommend a laser pointer to highlight the icons, if it does not damage them.
The other tours crowded us a little.
I think our tour left a minute early, but we caught up to the last group. They were efficient and welcoming.

FAQs
Can I use a wheelchair on this tour?
Yes! However please be aware that guides can not push wheelchairs so do ensure that you can operate your own chair or have someone to operate it for you.
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.
