After your morning walking tour and gondola ride, you’ll have a break to enjoy lunch or explore on your own, before rejoining your guide in the afternoon for a second, equally fascinating part of the day: the discovery of Venice’s political and religious heart.
Skip the long lines and enter the Doge’s Palace, once the seat of power of the Venetian Republic. With your expert guide, you’ll walk through grand halls, lavish chambers, and eerie prisons, learning about the secrets, scandals, and glory of Venice’s golden age. Admire masterpieces by Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese as you uncover the layers of history and symbolism hidden within these walls.
Next, step into the majestic Basilica of St Mark, one of the most stunning churches in the world. Marvel at over 8,000 square meters of golden mosaics and richly decorated interiors. As a highlight, you’ll also have exclusive access to the Basilica’s terraces, offering breathtaking views over St Mark’s Square and the lagoon — a photo opportunity not to be missed.
⚠️ Please note: the Full Day Upgrade includes two separate guided experiences with a break in between. Both tours meet at the same location in St Mark’s Square (under the lion column, in front of the Doge’s Palace). Transportation between the two parts is not included, and punctuality is required.
