About this activity
This is an incredible exclusive After-Hours Semi-Private Tour of Saint Mark's Basilica, after the Basilica has officially closed to the general public. The crowds will have gone, and the custodians will have closed the entry doors to the rest of the tourists, except for you. The doors will reopen exclusively for this privileged access tour, that will leave you as the only witnesses of the Golden Church of Venice in the magic of night. With our guarantee of just 6 people per group, a professional expert guide will lead you on an incredible intimate journey through the magic of the Basilica as evening has fallen and it is only for your eyes to witness. In the quiet of night, its incredible splendour will shine as the thousands of square feet of golden mosaics will light up in an astounding light show. Again, only for you to see. This is guaranteed to be a truly unique, dramatic, once in a life-time experience, that you will surely never forget.
What to expect
Piazza San Marco
P.za San Marco, Venice, 30100, Italy
Do not miss out on this very exclusive After-Hours Tour of Saint Mark's Basilica, after the Basilica has officially closed to the general public and its privileged access is exclusively reserved to us! In the quiet of night, its incredible splendor will be only for you to enjoy. Meet your professional expert local guide in Piazza San Marco, Venice's most iconic square, and join your intimate small group of only 6 people max. Learn about the history of this iconic Piazza, and feel its quieting energy, as the city turns dark and tourists and locals turn in for the evening.
Basilica di San Marco
San Marco, 328, Venice, 30124, Italy
Once you have entered the Basilica, you will witness the incredible light show of the Golden Mosaics that entirely cover the Basilica's interior, and have no doubt why in fact it is nicknamed the 'Golden Church', la 'Basilica d'Oro'. During your hour and half exclusive exploration you will also get to see the Pala d'Oro all the way up close - something that during official opening hours is nearly impossible. And for a spooky and exclusive finale you will also get to descend into the crypt, hear the tales of floods and natural disasters that the basilica has survived, and see their marks on the stained walls. A truly unique, dramatic, once in a life-time experience that you are sure to never forget! An original, valid photo ID is required for entry to St. Mark's Basilica. Photocopies are not accepted.
