Traveler reviews
Spiritual and informative.
This tour was magical! The historical, architectural and religious elements of the tour made ot magical.
A don’t miss experience’
This was a unique experience and we are so glad we were able to do it! Our guide gave us great information about the history of St. Mark’s. We were able to visit the crypt and see the Pala d’Oro which was breathtaking! Our guide was excellent and I’m sorry I don’t remember her name but she was very observant of us. I was experiencing very bad hip pain and she made sure I could sit whenever possible. That was very helpful!
Incredible tour experience
This tour was among the best not only of Venice but of the many that we have been to in dozens of countries. Being in the church at night without crowds made it worth every penny alone but Octavia our guide made it incredible. She was knowledgeable and personable but not overbearing. Would love to do more tours with her of Venice. Highly recommend for an extraordinary experience.
Would recommend Saint Mark’s VIP Night Tour
The small group after-hours tour of Saint Mark’s Basilica was fantastic! It was beautiful seeing the Basilica with the lights turned on. Filippo was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable.
Nico is the best!
My family and I attended this tour with our magnificent guide, Nico. He was kind, answered all our questions, and was enthusiastic the entire tour. Highly recommend this experience for the church as well as Nico!
