Stop At: Basilica di San Marco, San Marco, 328, 30124 Venice Italy

Once you have entered the Basilica, you will witness the incredible light show of the Golden Mosaics that entirely cover the Basilica's interior, and have no doubt why in fact it is nicknamed the 'Golden Church', la 'Basilica d'Oro'. During your hour and half exclusive exploration you will also get to see the Pala d'Oro all the way up close - something that during official opening hours is nearly impossible. And for a spooky and exclusive finale you will also get to descend into the crypt, hear the tales of floods and natural disasters that the basilica has survived, and see their marks on the stained walls.

Awesome small group tour to see the night lighting of the basilica. Paola was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. This was well worth the time and cost. Highly recommend!

The tour with Adriana was amazing! The small size of the group allowed the tour to be intimate & Adriana's knowledge, warmth & passion of Venetian history ensured the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. The experience of visiting St Mark's basilica at night, away from the crowds, was truly magical and an experience that will never be forgotten, due to it's stunning beauty & history. The golden domes & the intricate biblical themed art work on the ceilings and around the church were breathtaking. To be able to observe & walk past, where the remains of Saint Mark rest, was most definitely a highlight of the tour. During the tour, Adriana also suggested other places of interest to see & visit whilst in Venice. Following Adriana's recommendations, the day after, we ventured up the tower in St Mark's square. Just as Adriana had described, we were able to see the snow peaked Dolomites, a stunning overview of Venice, the lagoon & many islands. Thank you Adriana for an unforgettable experience!

Sabrina was a terrific guide, and both the Doge’s Palace and St Marks Basilica dramatically exceeded our expectations. It was a special treat to see both at night, as it felt like we had them more or less to ourselves, and we got to see areas (e.g., the crypt) that would have otherwise been off limits.
