This small-group guided tour lets you quietly explore St. Mark's Basilica after it closes, once the daytime crowds have gone. Watch the golden mosaics glow as the lights come on one by one, and enter areas usually closed to the public, such as the crypt. Choose the Doge's Palace option to also explore the Doge's Palace after hours and dive deeper into the history of the Venetian Republic. An expert English-speaking guide brings the history and stories of Venice to life.

Meet your guide in front of Museo Correr in St. Mark's Square to begin the tour. After general visiting hours end, the basilica opens its doors for tour groups, so you can explore it in a calm atmosphere without long lines or noise. Discover the basilica, once reserved for the Doge, the ruler of Venice, with your guide's commentary.

Visit areas that are generally restricted during the day, including the crypt believed to hold the relics of St. Mark and walls that still bear the marks of historic floods. The golden mosaics shimmering under the lights in the darkness are a sight unique to this tour.

With the Doge's Palace option, you also explore the Doge's Palace, once the seat of power of the Venetian Republic, after closing. See the lavish Doge's apartments and the Chamber of the Great Council decorated with masterpieces by Veronese and Tintoretto. The tour ends in St. Mark's Square.
※ The duration is about 75 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes depending on the option.
