Private Guided Tour of Venice with St Mark's Basilica
Overview
You call the shots on this private tour in Venice.
There are visits pencilled in to see St. Marco’s Square and Rialto, as well as the chance to customise your day and explore the ‘Floating City’ under your own steam.
Get your cameras ready at St. Marco’s Square and waltz right into the majestic Basilica with skip-the-line tickets. Your local expert will spill the tea on this historic hotspot, where East meets West in a dazzling fusion of cultures. See the iconic bronze horses – a symbol of the city – where you can choose to snag an extra ticket for an up-close encounter from the Basilica’s terrace.
