Best way to see Saint Marc’s Basilica
Tullía was our guide on this night tour and she was fantastic: very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. This is a must, especially if it’s your first time seeing Saint Marc’s Basilica. Being part of a very small group made it feel even more special.

An insider look at the basilica
A highlight of our time in Venice. It was extremely special to be at the Basilica with a small group of people, and our guide, Ottavia, was engaging and super informative. I learned so much and my husband and I came away extremely impressed and immersed - something that would not have happened had we just gone alone and looked around ourselves. The rich history and stories present in all parts of the Basilica made this experience unparalleled.

Gilded in Gold!
Very thorough and informative. Romy really knew so many details about the Basilica and she even added in some humor to the presentation. It is an amazing place to see, especially at night.
