Definitely a “Must Do” tour if visiting Venice. Our Tourguide Roberta C. was so passionate about her home city of Venice. Her knowledge was incredible in regards to all things Venice. Visiting the Basilica and Doge Palace without waiting in a long queue. Value for money certainly.

Roberta C is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Venice. She makes an effort to connect with folks on the tour. Even the rain didn't deter her! I would suggest , however, that the gondola ride in the pouring rain may have been ill advised!!!

Our tour was great overall. Alrhough, it rained heavily all day and we did not have the gondola ride. We also had to wait for some time in the rain outside of St Mark's Basilica because "the skip the line" que was not properly separated from the regular line (not the tour company's fault). Overall we would recommend this tour as Matea was VERY well educated about Venice and was a pleasure to spend the day with.

Know Before You Book

Does St. Mark's Basilica have a dress code?

Yes. Because it is a holy place, St. Mark's Basilica insists that both men and women wear clothing that covers their shoulders and knees. They can and will refuse entry to anyone who does not meet this standard and we can't do anything about it, so come prepared.

Is lunch included on this tour?

No. But your guide is always happy to offer you plenty of recommendations for great places to eat in the vicinity that will suit any price point.

Is there much walking on this tour?

This tour does involve walking. Guests should be able to walk at a moderate pace without difficulty and comfortable walking shoes are a must!

Is this tour accessible to guests with mobility impairments?

Unfortunately due to the nature of this tour it is not suitable for guests with mobility impairments, or for wheelchairs or strollers. Please contact the Guest Experience team at [email protected] to make alternative arrangements.

Can I take a bag with me into St. Mark's Basilica?

You can only take small bags into St. Mark's. Anything bigger than a purse - backpacks or luggage - is prohibited. There is no coat check either, so do not bring any large bags with you.
