Description

Join an expert guide and discover the origins of Piazza San Marco and the history of its main monuments – St. Mark's Basilica, Palazzo Ducale, the Campanile (bell tower), Torre dell'Orologio (clock tower), and the Procuratie.

After seeing Saint Mark's Square, you'll walk toward Campo Santa Maria Formosa to hear anecdotes about the square, before plodding over to the next piazza, Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo.

After getting your fill of the city's squares, your guide will lead you toward the home where explorer Marco Polo once lived, as well as the Malibran Theatre. After hearing a few more tales of the past, it's time to head back to St. Mark's Square.

Return to St. Mark's Square through the Mercerie, the main shopping street in the city and a vital connection between the Rialto and San Marco neighborhoods.

Your tour ends in one of the most majestic cathedrals of the world! Escorted by a guide, enjoy a full visit inside this masterpiece of byzantine art. Admire beautiful gold mosaics and marble inlays of the floors, sitting comfortably while your guide sheds light on its intricacies.
