About This Tour
You may be asking yourself what is the best way to visit two of the main attractions of Venice in little time? The answer is this tour! In just 2 hours you will get to visit the San Marco Basilica and the Doge’s Palace in the heart of Venice, without wasting time waiting in line, and with the guidance of a local tour guide. Choose between the morning or the afternoon tour, yet if you’re travelling on Sundays you must choose the afternoon since in the morning the Basilica is closed. Meet your guide in Piazza San Marco and head directly to the Doge’s Palace. Skip the line and start your historical journey in the 14th century. Remain amazed by the beautiful halls frescoed by Tintoretto and visit the hidden prisons that can be reached by secret passageways. Next head to the Basilica of San Marco, the church that is famous for its uniqueness of architecture that mixes together different styles. In just a couple of hours you will get to know a lot of Venice’s history and culture!
