During this private tour, Venice will disclose all its beauty to you.
A tour through the history of Venice
In the period of its greatest power as a trading empire, St. Mark’s Square was the heart of the Republic of Venice. In its Basilica, the Venetians used to fall on their knees and pray, before leaving for years-long trips along the ancient sea routes, connecting Venice with Africa and with the Eastern Countries. Standing in the Square, the ancient inhabitants of Venice would celebrate its victories or cry its failures. Into the rooms of the Doge’s Palace, the greatest political authority of Venice would decide about the future of the city.
Enter into St. Mark’s Basilica with a ticket included
Escorted by your expert guide, you will enter into the Basilica avoiding annoying lines, and you will dive into the history of one of the ancient maritime republics. The guide is at your disposal to answer to every question on this wonderful Basilica, where Western architectural style mixes up with Byzantine and Islamic. This place holds the heritage of the millennial history of Venice. The St. Mark’s Treasure and the Pala d’Oro are the most precious and refined wonders that have ever been realised to celebrate the glory of St. Mark and to keep its remains. You won’t miss the spectacle of the Torre dei Mori, masterpiece of engineering, which with its famous astronomic clock has marked the passage of time in Venice for 500 years.
Explore the luxurious Doge’s Palace
It is now time to enter into the former headquarter of Venice’s political power, from whose docks the departing fleets used to be consecrated. Its role used to be fascinating ambassadors and powerful figures coming from all over the world, besides being the residence of the Doge. Facing St. Mark’s Square on one side, and Riva degli Schiavoni on the other, its inside is considered one of the most beautiful attractions of Venice. A place where luxury and opulence are kings, and where you can breathe the ancient magnificence of the Republic of Venice.

Incredible amount of touring in a short amount of time.
We did not have much time but wanted to cover a lot of area. Adriana was our guide for the entire weekend and she was incredibly knowledgable and went at the pace we set. Booking a private tour aloud us to choose specific times that suited us and we weren't lost in a group of people. Adriana was considerate to the three generations present in our group and answered all of our questions and gave plenty of options on where to go to eat and visit after our time with her had ended. Our experience with Adriana has prompted us to seek future travel specifically to Venice and we will be sure to request Adrianna. This tour was worth every penny.
