Skip the line with privileged access

Step into the heart of one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks with an exclusive visit to Saint Mark’s Basilica. This in-depth tour reveals hidden treasures, from shimmering golden mosaics and rare marbles to the breathtaking terrace view featuring the famous four bronze horses.

With privileged access, you’ll enter sacred areas that are usually off-limits to the general public. Get close to the high altar to admire the Pala D’Oro, a medieval masterpiece of gold and enamel, and learn the fascinating stories behind the basilica’s Byzantine mosaics.

You’ll also visit the Upper Gallery Museum, where the original bronze horses brought from Constantinople are kept. From the terrace, enjoy a unique perspective over the church’s gilded interior and the expansive beauty of St. Mark’s Square.

Please note: the tour price does not include entrance tickets to churches or museums.
