It was great! We managed to visit st marks. Then we went (on another booking) to the dodge palace and at 15:00 we did the gondola which was also great. Keep in mind, this does not have access to the The Pala d'Oro, you have to pay an extra 5 euros per person for that. Still got what I came for.

Pour la visite guidée de la cathédrale San Marco, la guide a rendu la visite très intéressante. C'était parfait. Pour le tour en gondole, c'est plutôt expédié et sans aucun commentaire, de tout façon, on fait le tour du pâté de maison et on attend parce que c'est embouteillé. Donc, c'est très cher pour ce que c'est. Dommage.

Great experiences in Venice, with both the basilica and the gondola.

Enjoy the Grandeur of Venice on a 30-Minute Shared Gondola Ride

On this delightful 30-minute Gondola ride, you will get the chance to marvel at the Mozart House, as well as the worldwide famous La Fenice Theatre. You will proceed along the Rio (Canal) “De le Ostreghe” leading into the most enchanting part of the Grand Canal, where you will admire the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. You will also cruise past the Salute Church and Punta della Dogana. Enjoy great views of Venice's top attractions from a unique vantage point.

Discover St. Mark's Basilica on an Immersive Guided Tour

After the gondola ride, you will join a small group guided tour for the St. Mark’s Basilica, known as Basilica di San Marco, the cathedral dates back to 1092 AD. Built in the Italo-Byzantine and Gothic architecture, it has the most awe-inspiring façade facing the Piazza San Marco. The basilica is Venice’s most iconic landmark and harks back to the era when Venice was the economic and cultural powerhouse of Europe. Its decadent gold ground mosaics and majestic design lend it the epithet ‘Chiesa d’Oro or the Church of Gold.

This tour is perfect for those who are looking for a typical Venetian experience as well as a brief history lesson on the floating city! With tours like these, we guarantee you a picture perfect visit to Venice.
