This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide, Shannon, was very knowledgeable and well spoken. She was also very considerate of travelers with special needs. I would highly recommend this tour to others.

nous étions avec une guide que pour nous (nous étions 5) et nous avons pu apprécier la beauté du lieu et son histoire. c est un monument vraiment magnifique qui vaut bien le détour. Je pense que l’aide d’un guide est vraiment indispensable si on veut comprendre les tableaux et autres dessins et style de la basilique. Mais même sans guide on en prend plein les yeux- à voir absolument

We really enjoyed the Venice After Hours Tour. Our guide, Marina, was fantastic. She was very informative and passionate about the history of Venice. We were the only group in Doge Palace and one of two groups in St. Mark’s. It was awesome not having to deal with the crowd and we were given access to areas, such as the crypt, that aren’t accessible during the day.

This tour allows the group to enter St Marks after hours, thus no line! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a very interesting commentary on St Marks and related changes to historical events in Venice. We entered St Marks in the dark, were seated, then various lights came on, providing a stunning view of the beautiful interior. We were able to enter the crypt area and see fabulous gold smith work behind the alter

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.
Could sites close on this tour?
Due to circumstances beyond our control, sites may occasionally close. We make every effort to stay as close to the advertised itinerary as possible but substitutions/omissions may be necessary.

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?

During this tour there is a short break (never more than one hour) in between visiting the Doge's Palace and entering St. Mark's Basilica.
