Venice, Italy
Full description
Explore St Mark’s Basilica without the crowds on an after-hours tour, and enjoy an optional visit to Doge's Palace, if you wish. Inside St Mark’s Basilica, admire treasured mosaics and a Byzantine altarpiece, and then follow your guide into the crypt where St Mark himself is believed to rest.
Stop At: St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco)
Start the tour in the beautiful St. Mark's Square for an introduction to Venice's rich history and learn how this floating empire rose to power. From the square, you're guide will point out the bell tower, clock tower, and Marciana Library before heading to the basilica.

Stop At: Basilica di San Marco, Veneto
Take a deep breath as you step into Venice's most legendary church. You’re experiencing St. Mark’s Basilica as almost nobody else does, or ever has ever been able to (aside from the Doge himself)—empty! No standing elbow-to-elbow with other tourists, no seeing the church as if through a strobe light from hundreds of popping flashbulbs, no noise from the crowds. Instead, you’re alone with your guide and the custodian. So you can experience the basilica as it should be experienced: in tranquility and peace.
