Why you’ll love this…
  • Enjoy exclusive after-hour access to St. Mark's Basilica, Venice's most famous site
  • Feel privileged as a Basilica guard will unlock the doors for you to explore special areas
  • See the 43,000 square feet of illuminated mosaics; even more breathtaking lit up at night
  • Delve into the history of St. Mark's and Venice with your enthusiastic, English-speaking guide
What to expect

See St. Mark's without the lines or crowds. A Basilica guard will be there to unlock the doors just for you and a small group of a maximum of 15 participants. It's the ultimate VIP treatment and the most exclusive way to visit St. Mark's Basilica. Join a tour that will give you memories that will last a lifetime!

You'll be able to skip all the lines—not only into the basilica but also to see the Pala d'Oro, the spectacular, Byzantine altarpiece that features more than 1,900 gems. Since you're alone in the basilica, you can even go where others, visiting during the day, can't. Like St. Mark's Basilica Crypt, which the custodian unlocks for you - this is where the bones of St. Mark are said to be kept.

Nighttime is the best time to visit because that's when the mosaics are at their most beautiful. All 43,000 square feet are lit up, glimmering and sparkling in the dark! If just seeing the basilica this way wasn't entrancing enough, there's your guide, an expert who's passionate about Venetian art and history. You'll hear the tale of how St. Mark's became St. Mark's, a story that pivots on a kidnapping and a dangerous sea voyage! You'll also learn where the precious marbles decorating St. Mark's come from and much more.

Sights included:

  • St. Mark's Basilica
  • Pala d'Oro
