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.

The basilica was ornated and beautiful. However, we couldn’t get in on time since the guide had the wrong tickets. I was the only one to get in right away, and the rest of the group got in 20 minutes later. They had to wait for the guide to be emailed the right tickets. Waste of time and money. Save your money and buy your own tickets.

Actually didn’t take San Marco tour couldn’t make it due to a glitch on our cruise so we disembarked late
There were no later tours
I was given no refund although those were the rules 24 hrs ahead to cancel booking
I thought I should have refund due to circumstances
Wasn’t offered a future tour
But rules are rules I guess

Priority access is not the same as skip the line tickets. On top of that we had to wait in the regular queue due to high water levels in the square. Due to late start we were rushed through the basilica passing by regular ticket holders who had the chance to enjoy the inside beauty. The experience is worth it but consider another tour with priority tickets.

This tour definitely made our trip even more memorable! I've done many tours in my life but this was definitely one of the best ones! Our guide Marco was incredible, gave us so many historical facts and was very engaging with the group.
