St. Mark’s Basilica & Doge’s Palace Half-Day Tour with Gondola Ride

Beautifully Done Tour by Marco

Marco’s depth of knowledge was amazing. He was very accommodating to everyone’s needs and had a great personality. He expertly guided us through the complicated history of this iconic place.

St Mark’s Basilica & Doge Palace

Marco was wonderful, funny & knowledgeable—-thanks for the tour

Fantastic tour with a great guide despite the weather and gondola cancellation

We had a wonderful tour with an excellent tour guide (Tulia) for St Mark’s Basillica and the Doge Palace. Tulia had an immense amount of knowledge and information to share with the group and it was very entertaining. I would certainly suggest going on this tour for these points of attraction alone. Unfortunately due to the weather and local flooding the gondola ride needed to be cancelled. While this was out of anyone’s control we were told by the local organizer that we would be refunded a certain portion of the tour fee because of this - a lesser amount was offered by those working higher up in the company operations (20 EUR vs 18 EUR).

Natalia was wonderful! Great tour!

We did tour of St Marks Basilica and the Doge Palace, crossed the Bridge of Sighs into the prison and finished off with a thirty minute gondola ride. Natalia was our guide. She was funny and very knowledgeable. She tried to get everyone’s name down and made us feel welcome in Italy. By the end of the tour she had used each of our names or nicknames, showed us her love of Italian art and history. Thanks Natalia!! Great time touring with you!

This tour was very interesting and informative. Although the basilica and Palace are magnificent, it wouldn't have been nearly as meaningful without a guide Our guide, Martina did an awesome job, it was a fairly long tour, she kept it entertaining and informative.

Fantastic perspectives on art and history!

Martina was our guide for this tour. Being a native Venetian and having a degree in art history equipped her with colorful knowledge of these Venetian landmarks. She was funny and informative and made the tour a delightful experience!

Highly informative & engaging

Elena our guide made this tour an exceptional experience. Elena shared her own personal experiences & knowledge gained from birth as she was born in Venice & living in Venice. We enjoyed her sense of humour & her professionalism. Thank you Elena xx (Australian travellers)

Excellent Tour

We had a wonderful tour that exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide (Natalia) was excellent, she was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Highly recommend this tour.

Loved this tour. Elisa was a great guide.

Venice Tour

Juliano was a wonderful tour guide! Unfortunately we could not take a ride on a gondola due to bad weather and the refund they offered seemed lower than it should have been.
