It was cold with rain and blustering wind and I wouldn't have missed being there. I love that Master of the House so much. Was a great Christmas Eve. I had to miss my tour of the museum but I can do that some day. Venice Tours was very helpful when I went there and my phone wouldn't work and I was so worried about missing the event.

We started with the VR epperience, which was very informative and a very cool experience! I learned a lot about the history of Venice in that 10 minutes alone. We then went up the Bell Tower. AMAZING views. We enjoyed seeing Venice from above and it was a very smooth experience. We didn't make it to the museum, but next time! Defintely good valur for the cost.

Virtual reality history was very cool!!!!! Put it in a quieter corner so participants can hear what the video is saying. People were standing right by the door talking, which was very disruptive.

Skip the lines and hop on the elevator to the top of St. Mark’s Bell Tower for panoramic views of Venice from 98 meters above the city.

Catch a glimpse of the domes of St. Mark's Basilica, the bustling St. Mark's Square, and the Venetian lagoon from a breathtaking vantage point.

Explore the San Marco History Gallery and learn about Venice’s rich maritime history and gondola craftsmanship.

Experience Venice in 3D through a virtual reality journey that takes you back to the city's glorious past.

Fun fact: In 1609, Galileo Galilei demonstrated his telescope to the Doge of Venice from the top of the St. Mark's Bell Tower.

The views were great from the tower. I feel like we were overcharged in that crowds of people came up to the entrance and just used the QR code to get tickets which were less expensive.

Sweeping city views

Breeze through long waiting queues with priority access to St. Mark’s Campanile, which once served as a defensive watch tower. Take the elevator to the top, 98 meters above the city, and enjoy stunning panoramic views. From this height, you can easily spot Venice’s top landmarks, including St. Mark’s Basilica, the vast square below, and the picturesque lagoon. When you descend, don't miss out on the Logetta at the bell tower's base. Adorned with sculptures, this structure once served as a meeting point for Venetian nobles.

A virtual glimpse into the city's history

Next, delve into Venice’s rich maritime history at the San Marco History Gallery, where you can explore fascinating exhibits on gondolas, including a real dissected gondola showcasing its craftsmanship. Conclude your experience by stepping into an immersive virtual reality world that brings historic Venice to life, giving you a peek into what Piazza San Marco and the Doge’s Palace once looked like.
