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.
Finally, reach St.Mark museum and the panoramic terrace to admire the amazing view on Saint Mark's square, called “Europe’s living room”, thanks to the elegance of the buildings and for the people who gather everyday in this beautiful place. Your guide will tell you about the story of the horse statues located on the top of the basilica and you’ll see the city from a completely different point of view.

Rita provided a lovely and thorough tour of the Basilica. She was knowledgeable and engaging throughout the experience. Being on the terrace overlooking San Marco was one of my favorite parts!

A great tour of 1 hour which saved us lining up for around 45 minutes in the hot sun of St Marks. Tour guide Gabriella was very knowledgeable, perfect English and polite. We had alone difficulty finding the starting point as the address wasn’t clear and there was no flag. Apart from that- I’d highly recommend this tour.

Excellent knowledge, great skip the line tickets. It was enough for 1 hour tour especially in the heat and with teenagers. Bring a hand fan, you will enjoy it more if it’s a hot day.

Great informative small group trip, if you have the money and are interested in history it is very worth it. With this guide they give you roof access as well which other tours do not do.
