Exclusive Alone In St. Mark's & Doge's Palace Tour

We really enjoyed the Venice After Hours Tour. Our guide, Marina, was fantastic. She was very informative and passionate about the history of Venice. We were the only group in Doge Palace and one of two groups in St. Mark’s. It was awesome not having to deal with the crowd and we were given access to areas, such as the crypt, that aren’t accessible during the day.

To see St. Mark’s in all its splendor, up close and personal, and without mr the crowds, was a dream come true. Our guide, Romy, a native Venetian with an art history background, gave us a true once in a lifetime tour.

Romy did a great job showing us an amazing treasure

Romy was a wealth of knowledge. She brought the basilica to life with her narration. This was a truly amazing experience.

Very interesting experience and so much detail. Did a nice job of making it simple

This tour allows the group to enter St Marks after hours, thus no line! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a very interesting commentary on St Marks and related changes to historical events in Venice. We entered St Marks in the dark, were seated, then various lights came on, providing a stunning view of the beautiful interior. We were able to enter the crypt area and see fabulous gold smith work behind the alter

I cannot say enough positive things about this tour. This was our fifth trip to Venice and we still hadn’t seen The Doge’s Palace or St Mark’s Basilica - the crowds had always put me off. Before arriving this time I saw this tour and decided to book. So glad I did as it was amazing - by far one of the best tours I’ve done. Our tour guide was Marina, she was an expert in Renaissance art, and so we were set up for a fabulous evening - despite the howling wind and rain. To be able to walk through both places, unhurried, and not bothered by other people jostling for photos was refreshing. Marina brought the Palace and the Basilica to life. We walked across the Bridge of Sighs and learnt its history, we sat in St Mark’s as they turned off every light and then slowly relit every part of the Basilica. If you only do one tour in Venice, I truly recommend this one to you.

Romy was a terrific tour guide. She was very well spoken, and when I asked specific questions. Fantastic job Romy! Are we going back to the

Wonderful experience! The Palace was extremely interesting and Nico was a great guide that was obviously passionate and knowledgeable about his job. Visiting the Basilica was breathtaking and a highlight of our trip. There are no words to describe the experience when the lights come on and the gold glistens. Seeing the mosaics on the ceiling and the beauty in the floors was unforgettable. It is a long evening with lots of walking and stairs, but worth every minute.
