You will meet your guide at the meeting point, in the San Marco square. Your first stage is the Basilica of St Mark, with his Byzantine decorations that cover any wall of the interior. Next is a visit of the Doge’s Palace, to understand the political system of this city built on water, and how could it become a leading city in the Mediterranean sea for several centuries.

Here are some important things to know in order to ensure you have the best possible experience with your tour:

• the itinerary is indicative and can be changed in case some monument is inaccessible for restoration
• having a camera with you is your choice. Someone prefers to immerse in beauty not being distracted by taking pictures/making videos, someone else prefers to build printable memories of his trip. It’s really up to you

Even if you cancel this tour in time (at least 7 days in advance), there is a cancellation fee of € 40/person because entrance tickets are not refundable.
