St. Marks light up at night was spectacular. Olivia was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. I would highly recommend seeing this church at night!

Our tour with Pamela was just wonderful. She shared so much history and answered all of our questions. The night time access to the Basilica is highly recommended. The lights present the beauty of the building in a different way and was so worth it. Definitely recommend this tour. LivTours do an amazing job.

What an amazing experience! The church at night was magical and up lifting. Poala had great knowledge of the iconography and essentialism of the church. She made the installation of the mosaic come alive. The experience at night was above our expectations.
