This walking tour lasts about two hours and fifteen minutes, covering two of Venice's main landmarks: Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. The tour begins at Piazza San Marco, where visitors spend around 90 minutes inside the Doge's Palace. Here, the guide explains the history of the Venetian doges who governed the city. Afterward, the group moves to St. Mark's Basilica for about one hour, including the option to visit the Basilica's Museum and Terrace if selected. Throughout the tour, participants use personal headsets to hear the guide clearly. The tour includes skip-the-line tickets for both Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica, allowing faster entry. Optional add-ons include tickets to the Pala d'Oro altar piece, a two-course lunch with water and coffee, and a boat transfer to Murano with a visit to a glass factory. A qualified guide leads the entire tour. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not provided. Visitors will also have time to admire Saint Mark's Square and the surrounding buildings during the itinerary. Restrictions apply: large backpacks and bags are not allowed inside the Basilica for security reasons. Some areas of the Doge's Palace are not wheelchair accessible, and visitors requiring assistance must bring their own carer. The tour operates rain or shine but may be canceled with a full refund if tides are exceptionally high. Visitors must provide full traveler names at booking and valid ID matching those names at entrance. Additional city access fees may be required on certain dates, and the ticket prices include operational and guide costs beyond entry fees.
