Itinerary

Piazza San Marco
Do not miss out on this very exclusive After-Hours Tour of Saint Mark's Basilica, after the Basilica has officially closed to the general public and its privileged access is exclusively reserved to us! In the quiet of night, its incredible splendor will be only for you to enjoy. Meet your professional expert local guide in Piazza San Marco, Venice's most iconic square, and join your intimate small group of only 6 people max. Learn about the history of this iconic Piazza, and feel its quieting energy, as the city turns dark and tourists and locals turn in for the evening.

Basilica di San Marco
Once you have entered the Basilica, you will witness the incredible light show of the Golden Mosaics that entirely cover the Basilica's interior, and have no doubt why in fact it is nicknamed the 'Golden Church', la 'Basilica d'Oro'. During your hour and half exclusive exploration you will also get to see the Pala d'Oro all the way up close - something that during official opening hours is nearly impossible. And for a spooky and exclusive finale you will also get to descend into the crypt, hear the tales of floods and natural disasters that the basilica has survived, and see their marks on the stained walls. A truly unique, dramatic, once in a life-time experience that you are sure to never forget! An original, valid photo ID is required for entry to St. Mark's Basilica. Photocopies are not accepted.
