This 5 to 6-hour guided tour covers Venice’s main icons, starting with a walking tour of the Rialto Bridge in the city center. The group then moves to Piazza San Marco, Venice’s principal square. The tour continues with a 45-minute guided visit inside St. Mark's Basilica, including skip-the-line entry. If selected, access to the basilica’s terrace is also included. Next, the tour proceeds to Doge's Palace for approximately 90 minutes with skip-the-line tickets. This visit includes access to the prisons connected by the Bridge of Sighs. After the guided visits, entry to the Correr Museum, Archaeological Museum, and Marciana Library is provided for self-guided exploration without a guide. For groups of 10 or more, audio receivers are supplied to hear the guide clearly. The Venice Gallery offers a virtual reality experience showing Venice in the past. At the end of the tour, there is an option to take a shared gondola ride, which includes an introduction to gondola traditions and a ride along the Venetian canals passing historic sites. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Entry fees for attractions not listed are excluded. A professional guide accompanies guests inside St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace but not at the museums. Guests must bring valid identification for security checks at the basilica entrance and wear appropriate clothing; shorts and tank tops are not allowed. On certain dates, visitors staying outside Venice may have to pay a city access fee. Full traveler names are required at booking to avoid entry denial.
