Great 6 hour tour for first time visitors. Our tour guide spent a lot of t8me explaining to us every detail of the tour
It’s a difficult walking tour. Wear good comfortable shoes.
No long lines waiting to get in. Be prepared to be surrounded by a sea of humanity.

Wonderful young woman was our guide Ana, she was very very knowledgeable and informative but almost too much information to absorb in a short amount of time. But she was lovely helpful and a pleasure to be with.

Full Day and a Great Tours
Our morning tour of the Basilica and Doges was amazing. Our afternoon on this tour had quick (10 minute) demonstrations of glass blowing and lace making with a lot of time left to wander the shops. All in all it was a great very full day and we enjoyed it.

Venice in a day
The guides were amazing! This was 3 different tours combined. St Marks Basilica, Doges Palace, and Murano and Burano. There wasn’t much time between tours to grab food and use the restroom that is my only complaint. I loved Venice and being able to see so many things with this tour was fantastic.

So much history, so many things to see at the Doge’s Palace and at the St. Mark’s Basilica. The gondola ride was a neat break too. We absolutely loved our experience, thank you!

We were late- but the tour guide graciously waited for us. She was friendly and informative regarding the Basilica and Palace. We were a bit rushed at the end and was hoping for some lunch recommendations but they never came.

Great tour and very enjoyable
Roberta was a wonderful tour guide on a very interesting tour. Doge place and the basilica were beautiful and Roberta give us lots of great information. The gondola ride was lovely and quiet and a much needed sit down after the palace. Roberta also took us around the quieter areas of Venice. In all a very enjoyable day helped by a very informative guide, and it was a nice small group too which makes a difference. Well organised and recommended 🤩

A fabulous tour
This tour is very well organized. Our tour guide Giovanna was easy to hear with the headphone set and was very interesting to listen to. I would highly recommend this tour. We had a fabulous day.

How to get there
When to visit

You can climb to the top of the square’s bell tower, but prebook skip-the-line access to avoid a long wait.
Kids love to feed and chase the pigeons that flock to the center of this family-friendly piazza.
The main square connects to the smaller piazzetta square, which is flanked by the Doge’s Palace and the St. Mark’s library (Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana), and opens out onto the Grand Canal.
St. Mark’s Square is the focal point of Venice’s lavish Carnival celebrations every February.
Though often crowded, the flat square is easily accessible for strollers and for those with limited mobility.
