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.

Highly recommend this tour as so very special. Very different to the day tour as it’s a very small group and the experience of sitting in the dark quietly and the lights coming on gradually to expose the spectacular ceilings is something to experience. Very special tour.

This was a fantastic tour. We also went to the regular day tour to St Marks. There was not an overlap and each covered different areas. Overall the evening tour was best but that could have been because we had such a terrific guide. Highly recommend

I've visited the Basilica in Venice numerous times but booked this tour because it offered being able to see the Basilica without lots of other people there and access to the crypt which is not usually accessible.
Just being able to wander freely through the Basilica under the lit mosaics with just a few other people was amazing. The crypt visit was wonderful and very interesting. And our guide was very informative and helpful.
I highly recommend this tour.

History lesson: Our guide was absolutely amazing. Andrea's was fluent on the history of San Marco's and he shared it. He told us of some of the obscure details. FascinatingThank you
