Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Basilica di San Marco, San Marco, 328, 30124 Venice Italy
We provide the skip the line tickets, so walk right past the long queue and go right on inside. During November through March, St. Mark’s Basilica does not offer skip the line entry because lines are generally non-existent.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Doge's Palace, Piazza San Marco, 1, 30124 Venice Italy
As you explore the Doge’s Palace, you’ll hear about the wild ways of the Venetian Republic under the rule of elected magistrates. This tour not only showcases the interior of this ornate palace, but also goes in depth about the crime and legal system that was once in place in the city of Venice. Admire classic works of Venetian art and visit Doge’s Palace’s main sights, such as the Grand Staircase and the Bridge of Sighs.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Venice, Venice, Veneto
After your visit to St Marks and the Doges Palace conclude, it’s time to partake in that quintessential Venice activity. That’s right, step right up to your gondola boat! Left in the care of a trusted gondolier, enjoy the beauty of Venice from the water. Fun fact: in the Venetian dialect, “gondolier” translates into “rowing master”.

It was very boring and too much information to remember. Didn’t even see the Venice properly. Very disappointed.

Our tour guide was Natalia, she was extremely knowledgable and made our tour SO much fun!! She got to know each of us and made sure all of our questions were answered, she was quite funny also! I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Venice, even if you are only there for a short stay.

The tour was amazing! Our tour guy Niko was awesome and there were no questions we asked of him that he could not answer. The sites were beautiful and miraculous m. Well worth the money. Factor in the gondola rides and it was a full package.

Experienced guide interesting commentary and kept the tour moving. Group not too big.
Wouldn’t recommend the add on gondola option. Put five in each gondola which is too many. Better to save the money towards a private trip on gondola.

We didn't get to do the gondola ride because of the weather but we did get a refund on that portion. The walk through Venice learning about the history was very informative.
