Your experience

Venice is a city of timeless charm, and few experiences capture its essence better than a guided tour of St. Mark’s Basilica and a traditional gondola ride. These activities offer a perfect blend of history, art, and the unique beauty of Venice.

St. Mark’s Basilica

St. Mark’s Basilica is a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture and one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks. Built in the 9th century to house the relics of St. Mark, the basilica is adorned with over 8,000 square meters of golden mosaics that depict biblical stories and historical events. Its intricate marble floors and the famous Pala d’Oro, a golden altarpiece studded with precious gems, are must-see highlights.

Guided tours reveal fascinating stories about the basilica’s history, including treasures brought back from Constantinople during the Crusades, making it not just a place of worship but also a symbol of Venice’s power and artistic heritage.
