“What a wonderful tour! Francesca was extremely knowledgeable but was also able to hold our interest and attention by telling us funny and interesting stories, and focusing on specific paintings and interpretations during the tour. Some other tours get overwhelming or even boring at times but not this one! I learned so much about the history of Venice that I was not expecting, and am so glad we booked this tour.” – Wendy, New York

The tour stars at St. Mark’s Square where we get a perfect view of the breathtaking St. Mark’s Basilica. The Basilica is connected to the Doge’s palace and used to be the Doge’s private chapel up until the 19th century. With our privileged access you will bypass the (often long) line and enter this grand Basilica covered in golden mosaics. No wonder it is nicknamed “Basilica d’Oro”: Basilica of gold! St. Mark’s Basilica dates back to the 9th century. On this Venice small group tour you will learn why it has played a key role in the history of Venice. Take your time to explore the numerous treasures with your passionate Livitaly guide.

“I’m so happy we decided to do the Doge’s Palace & St. Mark’s Basilica small group tour with LivItaly! We didn’t only skip all the long lines but we also learned so much while we were having a blast!” – Sandra, Brighton, UK

St. Mark’s Basilica is the center of religion in Venice, the Doge’s Palace holds the stories of Venice’s interesting political past. Enjoy privileged access to this magnificent building. For seven centuries the powerful palace housed the Doge, Venice’s independent government, prisons and courts. You will be amazed by the secret stories your guide shares as you walk through the Doge’s private, luxurious apartments and powerful halls such as the Hall of the Great Council.

We continue to explore the palace with a visit to the scary, dark and gory prison. After seeing the impressive collection of weapons, you will stop at the notorious Bridge of Sighs. Enjoy the view and snap some perfect pictures for your album at home.

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY
When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please Note:

*During low season (November 3-March 30) it is not possible to reserve tickets for St. Mark’s Basilica and skip the line. Due to the low number of visitors there are generally no lines during this period.

*In order to book this experience, you need to be at least 2 participants.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
LivTours’ group size of max 6 participants is and always has been based on sustainable travel and especially in these new times, we are proud to be at the forefront of the innovation, changes, and challenges that are presented to us during this post-pandemic time. At the moment, due to COVID-19 safety regulations, the museums and sites visited on this tour require wearing a mask while on the site. Please bring one for every participant over 6 years of age.
