Overview

Meet your local guide in Piazza San Marco and discover during a 1-hour express tour, one of the symbols of the city.

This golden jewel will leave you speechless and you will never forget the feeling of being inside the most terrific basilica of Venice.

This is the Venetian heart of Catholicism that in Italy is part of everyday life. This extraordinary church preserves the body of Saint Mark and, the glory around him, created a real cult. Your local guide will tell you more about Mark the evangelist and his symbol that you can find everywhere in the city: the lion.
