Excellent tour! Great guide with Giuliano. Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable. If you have small ears, the earbud may not work for you. Just stay close to the guide.

Arianna is a wealth of information. She kept my 11 and 9 year old kids interested for 2.5 hours. The amount of interesting information conveyed was impressive.

Know Before You Book

Can I bring a bag with me?
Large bags, trolleys and backpacks cannot be accommodated on this tour.
What's so special about the 8:00 am tour time?
The 8:00 AM tour time offer a unique and exclusive benefit - enter St. Mark's Basilica before it opens! With just your small group you enter through a side door and spend time alone in the Basilica. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, and created for Walks guests only. The 8:00 AM tour time is the only time with this special access, although the later times are also skip-the-line!
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.
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.
