On this tour led by a private expert guide, you will discover the most beautiful and famous monuments of Venice around the area of St. Mark's square.
You'll see the majestic outside of St. Mark's Basilica, one of the most incredible cathedrals of the world, and of the Doge's Palace, formerly the Doge's residence and the seat of Venetian government. Follow your guide until you reach the famous Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) and learn everything about its interesting history and the romantic legends behind it. In St. Mark's square, you'll also see the Clock Tower (Torre dell'Orologio), with its extraordinarily beautiful and elaborate timepiece.
But the best has yet to come... In fact, towards the end of the tour, you'll get the chance to take the lift up to St. Mark's Bell Tower (Campanile di San Marco): with its 99 metres of height, it offers the best view over the city and its lagoon. Get you camera ready.... you won't regret it!

Best views of Venice and on a hot summer day you get a refreshing sea breeze. Only accessible by elevator so anyone can access it. A must to do while in Venice

Our guide, Gina, was an absolute delight! Super knowledgeable, as well as so personable. Loved being in the bell tower with her listening to her explain the history or background about everything we could see. Plus, she tailored the rest of the tour to our preferences. Grazie mille!

When in Venice Italy be sure to not miss going up the tower in St. Marks square. This is one of the very few towers in all of Italy that has a elevator to take you to the top. A tremendous view can be seen from up top. And for a added bonus you can skip the long line if you buy your ticket online in advance !
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours.
