Tour Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica with skip-the-line entry, expert guides, headsets, and useful Venice history in two hours.

“This was a great, very informative tour of the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. The tour focused primarily on the Doge's Palace, including the Bridge of Sighs, and gave a ton of great information about the history both of the palace and the Doge system in Venice. Note that backpacks are not allowed inside the palace (they can be checked for free at the entrance)! One note to the provider - I would adjust the tour to end inside the basilica instead of outside of it. I would have liked to spend more time independently inside after the tour (since the tour time in the basilica was relatively short)…”

“Our guide is a native Venetian and did a phenomenal job of explaining details about some of the artwork and other features within Doge’s Palace and Saint Marks Cathedral. We also had a little break to rest, get refreshments, or buy gifts in the middle of the tour, which was great. The after hours aspect of Saint Mark’s Cathedral was truly a spiritual experience.”
