It was as excellent overall but there really should be a minimum age for guests. The two small children on our tour were a considerable distraction

Program

 

Enter St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace
with priority access

 

This guided tour takes you into two of Venice's most iconic sights, St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, with priority entry tickets. Save time in the queue and explore with the explanations of a professional local guide.

 

Duration ranges from 2 to 3.5 hours depending on the option. The guide language, meeting point, and whether the bell tower or lunch is included differ by option.

 

 

St. Mark's Basilica, shining with golden mosaics

 

 

A local guide introduces the basilica's main hall and its golden central hall, and explains the history of the artworks that decorate the church. The basilica visit takes about 45 minutes.

 

The basilica terrace, the museum and the Pala d'Oro are not included in the tour.

 

 

Meet the heart of the Republic at the Doge's Palace

 

 

Explore the grand halls and Renaissance masterpieces of the Doge's Palace, where the Doge and his council governed the Venetian Republic for a thousand years. With your guide, hear about the rooms that were the centre of power and the history of the era. The palace visit takes about 1 hour.

 

 

Cross the Bridge of Sighs to the prisons

 

 

Inside the Doge's Palace, cross the Bridge of Sighs and walk to the Piombi prison and the New Prisons. The bridge is said to be named after prisoners who sighed as they took a last look at Venice through its windows before being taken to prison. The New Prisons visit takes about 20 minutes.

 

 

Options with the bell tower or a lunch

 

 

The bell tower option takes you up the St. Mark's Campanile by elevator after the basilica and palace, with views over the city, the Grand Canal, the islands and the lagoon. The bell tower visit takes about 30 minutes.

 

The lunch option includes a Doge's menu lunch at a Venetian restaurant.

 

※ A valid ID is required for the security check at the basilica entrance, and the dress code applies (no shorts).
※ The Marciana Library is closed on Sundays.
※ On busy days, waiting times to enter the basilica may be longer than expected.
