Step inside one of the most iconic cathedrals in the world—St. Mark’s Basilica—on a guided tour that brings the heart of Venice’s history to life.
Marvel at this architectural masterpiece where East meets West, blending Byzantine opulence with Venetian grandeur. With its awe-inspiring domes, golden mosaics, and storied past, St. Mark’s is more than a monument—it’s a symbol of the city's enduring spirit.
Your guide will take you through centuries of history, from the arrival of St. Mark’s relics to the rise of Venice as a maritime power. Discover the fascinating tales behind this sacred site and the legendary figures who shaped it.
Then, leave the crowds behind and embrace the quieter, more romantic side of Venice. Glide through its narrow canals on a traditional gondola, admiring elegant palaces, graceful bridges, and the soft shimmer of water reflections. It’s the perfect way to experience the soul of the city—from the glory of its past to the serenity of its present.
