Each traveler must present a valid passport or ID document that matches the name provided at the time of booking for successful entry to St.Mark’s Basilica.

Please provide the full names of all travelers when booking. Failure to present a voucher with all travelers’ full names at the ticket office prior to entry may result in denied entry to the attraction.

Acqua Alta (high tide) in Venice can cause delays in entering the Basilica.

Sites visited during this tour are subject to occasional closures due to holy observances, high tides, and flooding. If a site closes, your guide will tour the exterior of the site. If time permits, you will be contacted before your tour. For last-minute closures, modifications may be communicated at the tour start time.

Basilica is a holy place, both men and women must wear clothing that covers the belly, shoulders and knees.

Religious authorities may decide to suspend skip-the-line priority because of the high number of visitors. We are only allowed to stay inside the Basilica for 20 minutes.

In case of denied access, you will be provided with entrance tickets to visit the Basilica on your own at the assigned time.

If you take the 2:00 PM tour, the Correr Museum will be closed before your tour finishes. Therefore, you will have Correr tickets for the next day

Please note that carrying any type of weapon or sharp objects, such as a knife, is not allowed for this tour.

Do not bring large bags or luggage. These items are not allowed, and there is no place to leave them, so you will be denied entry.

Clients must arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start of the tour. This is due to the timed entry of the tickets.

Please be advised that it is not possible to join the tour after it has commenced.

Direct ticket costs for the included attractions are as follows: Doge’s Palace (€27.00) and St. Mark’s Basilica (€12.00).

Tips/gratuities (for your guide) are always appreciated.
