Very occasionally San Giorgio Maggiore closes access to its bell tower due to liturgical celebrations and they aren't in the habit of giving us much advance notice. If this happens on the day of your visit we will stop off on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore to enjoy the view from the island but will not be able to climb the bell tower. In case the bell tower is inaccessible due to these reasons, or due to the elevator being out of service, no refund will be provided, as this is a matter outside of our control.
