This was our best tour ever. Having the opportunity to visit Saint Mark's church whitout crowds it's incredible. Unique experience, staff was really friendly and the guide was awesome. We recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something different.

Seeing the Basilica at nite is special. The mosaics stand out even more in the night lighting. And having all the lights turned off for a bit and then turned on gradually is really amazing. Our guide, Iole was great. Very informative, friendly, fun.

Fantastic experience! We were fortunate to have Iole as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and made all the history come alive - my kids who are not history buffs were enthralled (that says a lot) and she always made it a point to include them! Totally recommend! Best guide we encountered and the most interesting tour of our stay in Venice.

We visited St. Mark’s on a Friday evening-small group of 20 people. Beautiful cathedral and interesting talk on the history. Wonderful way to tour without the day time crowds. Very private... a must see.
