Do not miss this memorable guided tour which combines two of Venice’s quintessential landmarks such as the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica with a shared gondola ride.

Enjoy a 1-hour guided tour of the Doge's Palace to the discovery of its artistic treasures by Sansovino and Tintoretto, and cross the infamous Bridge of Sighs to visit the New Prisons.

You will then spend 1 hour in St. Mark's Basilica and its Museum and admire its exquisite mosaics and masterpieces, and you will have the chance to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic vista from the external terrace.

Please note: For now, the tour only includes access to the ground floor of St. Mark’s Basilica. Both the Museum and the Terrace are not included, but get ready for an intense and captivating experience in the heart of the Venetian art and spirituality.

The journey culminates with a 30-minute shared gondola ride, for up to 5 people, weaving through the enchanting canals of Venice.
