Overview

Your adventure begins as you meet your knowledgeable guide near the famed Piazza San Marco, often called the "drawing room of Europe," which is the principal public square of Venice and a masterpiece of urban design.

From there, prepare to be dazzled as you step inside and behold a shimmering expanse of golden mosaics that decorate the ceilings and walls, each telling a story of the church's rich heritage.

Throughout the tour, your guide will entertain you with tales of the Basilica's past, from its humble origins as a simple chapel to its current grandeur as one of the most stunning religious sites in the world. Learn about the treasures within, including the golden altarpiece, as you explore the first floor of the Basilica. Marvel at its intricate details and exquisite beauty, which blend Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles in a harmonious symphony of art and architecture.

Take advantage of this opportunity to uncover the secrets of one of Venice's most precious jewels.
