Doge's Palace & St. Mark's Basilica skip-the-line guided tour

Experience the gold and glory of Venice with a 2-hour guided tour of its two most iconic landmarks. We begin at St. Mark’s Basilica, bypassing the queues with skip-the-line access. Inside this Byzantine masterpiece, you’ll marvel at 8,000 sqm of shimmering gold mosaics and the intricate marble floors, as your guide reveals the history of Venice’s spiritual heart. Next, we enter the Doge’s Palace, once the seat of Venetian power. Climb the ornate Giants’ and Golden Staircases and walk through grand institutional chambers adorned with masterpieces, including Tintoretto’s Paradise. The tour takes a dramatic turn as you cross the famous Bridge of Sighs, following the path of prisoners into the New Prisons.
