For us, the guide IS the tour and Walks employs some of the very best. This time we had Giuliano - who was not only knowledgeable but also very entertaining with a brilliant sense of humor.

Tiana was excellent. There was a delay at Doge’s palace and she managed it to the best of her ability since it was beyond her control.

Toured St Marks Basilica and the Doges palace with our guide Nico . He was absolutely superb - incredibly knowledgeable, humorous , and bought the history to life . Showed us details that we wouldn’t have seen - and the relevance to Venetian history. It was a brilliant 3 hours . Thankyou Nico .

Our tour guide, Eleanora, was incredible! Super knowledgeable and engaging throughout the whole tour. We took the 8am tour which was great because Doge Palace was so quiet (St. Mark’s Basilica was definitely busy when we got there - this was our ending location). Definitely recommend this tour!

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.
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.
