This is an absolutely amazing tour, experiencing the Doges Palace and St Marks basilica whilst empty is stunning. Shannon our guide was excellent and I would thoroughly recommend both her and the tour- full of information, historical facts, put across in a very friendly manner- one of the best tours I have ever done! Many thanks

It is a great evening, and very memorable to see St. Marks at our leisure. We will never forget sitting in a darkened basilica as the lights gradually came on. Especial thanks must be given to our excellent, informative, and entertaining guide, Valentina S. We have been to St. Marks many times, but we learned so much which was new on this visit. One problem - a little one, to be sure, but it made for an unsettling start to the evening. We had booked tickets for a tour starting at 7.45. We were then asked if we could instead start at 8.45. That was no problem at all, and we were given plenty of warning. All my later messages from Viator, however, continued to say that the tour would still start at 7.45. We therefore decided to be cautious, and arrived in time for 7.45, to find - no one. Another group booked for this tour had also turned up then, and were just as perplexed as us. Well, it all turned out right. We all went off for a pleasant drink together, and reassembled at 8.30, to find everything ready. But I do wish that you could have amended your later messages to me, so that we could have bèen spared this confusion! We were glad to wear coats - it is not that warm on a March evening. I would say, too, that inevitable there are stairs to climb. Fine for us, but people with mobility issues should know.

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