&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Yes, children are welcome, but the tour may be more engaging for older kids and adults interested in history and art.

&nbsp;

You will have access to all the main areas of the Basilica, including some areas usually off-limits during regular hours, such as the crypt and high altar.

Yes, as it is a place of worship, modest clothing is required. Shoulders and knees must be covered for both men and women.

Photography inside St. Mark&rsquo;s Basilica is typically prohibited, but you may be allowed to take photos in certain areas with the guide&rsquo;s permission.

&nbsp;

See St. Mark&#39;s without the lines or crowds. A Basilica guard will be there to unlock the doors just for you and a small group of a maximum of 15 participants. It&#39;s the ultimate VIP treatment and the most exclusive way to visit St. Mark&#39;s Basilica. Join a tour that will give you memories that will last a lifetime!

&nbsp;

You&#39;ll be able to skip all the lines&mdash;not only into the basilica but also to see the Pala d&#39;Oro, the spectacular, Byzantine altarpiece that features more than 1,900 gems. Since you&#39;re alone in the basilica, you can even go where others, visiting during the day, can&#39;t. Like St. Mark&#39;s Basilica Crypt, which the custodian unlocks for you - this is where the bones of St. Mark are said to be kept.

&nbsp;

Nighttime is the best time to visit because that&#39;s when the mosaics are at their most beautiful. All 43,000 square feet are lit up, glimmering and sparkling in the dark! If just seeing the basilica this way wasn&#39;t entrancing enough, there&#39;s your guide, an expert who&#39;s passionate about Venetian art and history. You&#39;ll hear the tale of how St. Mark&#39;s became St. Mark&#39;s, a story that pivots on a kidnapping and a dangerous sea voyage! You&#39;ll also learn where the precious marbles decorating St. Mark&#39;s come from and much more.
