Excellent Duomo tour!

Shannon_E, Nov 2026

My husband and I were traveling with my in-laws who are in their 80’s. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and thoughtful given their age.

Fast tour

Kimberly_M, Sep 2026

A very quick tour but sufficient. The path is specific and limited area. You must leave with your guide so you cant stay to observe longer. Guide was speaking English but very strong accent.

Easy way to see both sights.

Margaret_G, Jul 2026

It was a brief tour of the Basilica since it was hot. And then we did the Doges Palace on our own. It was fine.

The tour guide was great...

Rebecca_P, Jun 2026

The tour guide was great and so funny. Gave 4 stars only because I don’t recommend booking the afternoon in June. Way too hot. Other than that she was informational and helped us understand the church and the art.

Great tour of St. Mark'...

Great tour of St. Mark' Basilica! I highly recommend getting the ticket including terrace access! It was a fantastic view and there were great photo ops! Basillica is beautiful.
