What To Expect
Meet your guide at Campo San Moisè 15 minutes before your departure time and set out to explore Venice's scenic canals. First, join a shared gondola tour with up to six people, and soak up the atmosphere of Venice on a romantic cruise through the historic center. After your gondola tour, meet back up with your guide for the second part of your tour - a visit to the iconic St Mark's Basilica. Follow your guide to St Mark's Square to marvel at the cathedral's magnificent Byzantine-era façade, then use your skip-the-line tickets to dodge the queues and head straight inside. Inside, admire the lavish interiors, peek into the Treasury, and explore the remarkable Golden Basilica, once the private chapel of the Doges of Venice. After taking in the highlights of the basilica, your tour ends back in St Mark's Square.
