Overview

The Doge's Palace:
The Doge’s Palace is one of the most important symbols of Venice. For centuries, it has represented the seat of the Venetian political power. In its majestic rooms, the Doge and his Council for centuries controlled the fate of the Serenissima surrounded by hundreds of masterpieces of painting art.
Visiting its halls of power, gold staircases and the important paintings, we will have the opportunity to go back in time and breathe the charming atmosphere of the place where Byzantine and Orient architectures run into each other.
Inside the Palace we will admire some of the most famous works painted by Tintoretto, Veronese and other important artists.
Finally we will feel again the anguish of the prisoners, who after crossing the well-known Bridge of Sighs entered in the darkness of the prisons.

St Mark Basilica:
St Mark Basilica could represent the place where Eastern and Western architecture run into each other, as majestic in its exteriors, as reach in the history it witnessed and represents.
Here, we will learn more about the everlasting history of Venice, about St Mark and how his ruins came to rest and be shielded here.
A tour not only to see Venice, but to experience this city through its history and glorious past, still shining in its historical sites and legendary characters.

Our family of six spanning three generations booked this tour. Our guide was excellent and was with us at all times explaining what we were seeing and the historical or social significance of these sites. Nothing was a problem, and as it was such a beautiful day and I had my elderly mother with me. Our guide at no time made us hurry. Thank you so much and I will most certainly recommend if we ever have from this tour company.

What a great tour! This tour with my husband was just unforgettable. We had an amazing time and the company tended to our every needs. Our tour guide was full of energy and a very positive person, always cracking jokes and making the experience even more interesting. She knows the history, of course since she is the guide, and was able to answer all of our questions.
