Excellent
Touring St Mark's at night with small groups was magical. Our tour guide, Iole, was such a great storyteller which enhanced the experience even more. Highly recommended!

I wish I knew our tour guide’s name. She was really exceptional and there were six of us (8:15 tour on Wednesday 11 April).
We all thought so. My only criticism - which does not have to do with the tour, but the fact that there’s so much to tell and not enough time that the lights are on in the Basilica to - allow for the telling.

Hello, the night tour in San Marco was great. Jole had a lot of interesting things to tell us about the history of Venice and San Marco. She was able to include all individualities in the group and did justice to everyone. The interior view of the illuminated, golden ceiling is overwhelming and unforgettable. A must-see when in Venice...

The opportunity to experience this is limited so if you get the chance, take it. The Basilica after dark is awesome and our guide's knowledge enhanced an already incredible experience.

Reviews from our guests
Exclusive Alone In St. Mark's Basilica After Hours
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 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.
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.
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.
