Description

Discover St. Mark's Basilica (and the Doge's Palace if option selected) in Venice on an exclusive after-hours guided tour. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of exploring these iconic landmarks without the crowds and noise of the daytime. Meet your guide in St. Mark’s Square for a special after-hours visit to St. Mark’s Basilica. With vivid stories and captivating history, uncover the rich past of Venice and its iconic cathedral. Enjoy exclusive access as the basilica’s doors are unlocked just for your group. Step inside to experience St. Mark’s in near silence—without the crowds, noise, or long lines. It's an experience few ever have, once reserved for the doge himself. Wander through normally off-limits areas, including the crypt believed to house the remains of St. Mark and walls still marked by historic floods. Marvel at the shimmering golden mosaics, illuminated to dramatic effect in the darkness. If you select the Doge’s Palace option, continue your journey through Venetian history with after-hours access to the seat of the Republic’s power. Explore the lavish doge’s apartments and the awe-inspiring Hall of the Great Council, adorned with masterpieces by Veronese and Tintoretto.
