Our tour guide Iole is very knowlegeable about St. Mark Basilica and Doge's Palace. She is also very considerate to take care of all of us, to make sure we have fast entry to Doge's Palace, photo-taking opportunities, timely toilet break and short sitting rest so we were all comfortable while following her 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.

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.
