The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.

&nbsp;

Photography without flash is allowed in Doge&rsquo;s Palace. However, photography is not permitted inside St. Mark&rsquo;s Basilica to preserve the art.

&nbsp;

As St. Mark&rsquo;s Basilica is a place of worship, modest attire is required. Both men and women should have their shoulders and knees covered.

The tour may be challenging for those with mobility issues, as both sites have stairs and uneven surfaces. Unfortunately, St. Mark&rsquo;s Basilica is not wheelchair accessible.

In case of religious ceremonies or unexpected closures, the guide will provide an extended tour of the exterior and other sections of the city, or alternate arrangements will be made.

&nbsp;

This Doge&rsquo;s Palace and St. Mark&#39;s Basilica tour is perfect for visitors who want to taste the city. In just a few hours, you&#39;ll be taken to two of Venice&#39;s most iconic sites, venturing inside the Basilica di San Marco (St. Mark&rsquo;s Basilica) and the Palazzo Ducale (Doge&rsquo;s Palace).

&nbsp;

The tour starts at the Palazzo Ducale. Once home to the Duke of Venice and the city&rsquo;s courts, it is the center of Venetian history (and as one of the world&rsquo;s oldest republics, that&rsquo;s quite a history). You&rsquo;ll explore all the best sights of the palace open to the public, from spectacular works produced on demand by artistic masters Tintoretto and Veronese to the evidence of the genius checks and balances that made the republic so successful.

&nbsp;

Next, you&#39;ll admire the heart of Venice, Piazza San Marco (St. Mark&rsquo;s Square). One of the highlights of this tour comes at the end when skip-the-line access takes you straight into the Basilica, saving precious vacation time. Marvel at the diversity of Venetian culture, where eastern architecture and western design have blended to create a structure with an onion dome, before following your guide through the beautiful frescoes inside the basilica.

&nbsp;

Meeting Point:

Please meet your guide next to Ponte della Paglia, the bridge with the view of the Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs), in front of the Doge&#39;s Palace, facing the lagoon. Your guide will be holding a City Wonders tour sign at the meeting point.
