Traveler reviews
Spectacular!
We really enjoyed our evening tour of St. Marks basilica…it was so nice being inside without the crowd and seeing the mosaics lit up in the evening light! Romy gave us such a nice tour and pointed out so many details! She did a great job! We highly recommend this tour
Wonderful in depth tour of St Marks!
What a wonderful tour! It’s so beautiful inside the church and having practically to ourselves was amazing! I loved the guide Romy who was a historian and could tell us so much detail about everything in there. Seeing the crypt was incredible too. What a once in a lifetime experience! It was extremely hot so bring a fan and dress in light clothing.
Amazing experience
Lorenzo was a fantastic guide and this experience was a great way to learn some about Venice. The ability to see inside the Basilica at night and see the ceiling lit up was beautiful. If you have the opportunity to do one excursion in Venice I would highly recommend this one.
St Mark’s at night- must see!
Paula was a fantastic guide. She had great knowledge of St Mark’s, the history and some of the lore surrounding the church and Venice. Very enjoyable.
Basilica night tour
