Venice & Skip-the-line St. Mark's Bell Tower Private Guided Tour

Venice’s 1,500 years of history and 117 islands make it one of the world’s most famous cities. On this tour, you’ll stroll through the most legend-laden parts of the city like St. Marks Square, Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. And with a customizable itinerary, you decide if there’s anywhere else you’d like to see. Kick off your adventure with views from the city’s tallest spot, the Bell Tower. It’s a prime spot for snagging pics of Venice and the lagoon. Prepare to be dazzled by St. Mark’s Basilica, with its soaring domes and golden mosaics, before discovering hidden gems like the 500-year-old Clock Tower, adorned with iconic symbols of Venetian heritage. Up next, you’ll delve deeper into Venice’s history gazing up at Doge's Palace, the ancient seat of Venetian power. Your local expert will spill the beans on daring prison escapes and hidden mysteries before making your way to the Bridge of Sighs. Listen out for the sighs that haunt the bridge today and snap up pics.
