Description
This is one of the original tours, organized by local agencies since the 1980s, a guarantee of quality and professionalism.
Skip-the-line tour of the thousand-year-old St. Mark's Basilica, which was once the palatine chapel of the Doge of Venice, covered with more than 2,000 square meters of golden mosaics depicting all the stories of the Old and New Testaments. A licensed guide, who is strictly local, will help you admire and understand this incredible treasure, visited by millions of visitors every year.
