What To Expect
Embark on an unforgettable guided tour to one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks: the magnificent Saint Mark’s Basilica, gracefully overlooking Saint Mark’s Square. Accompanied by an expert guide, you’ll delve into the rich history of this stunning cathedral, often referred to as the Golden Basilica due to its breathtaking pure gold mosaics.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there! Immerse yourself in an exhilarating virtual reality experience that transports you back in time. With a VR headset, witness Piazza San Marco and its iconic monuments as they once were, envisioning the Basilica as the Doge's private chapel and the Doge's Palace transformed into a medieval fortress, much like the castles of Europe.
For a truly exclusive experience, opt for the private tour option and enjoy the luxury of a personal guide dedicated to enhancing your journey through Venice’s rich cultural tapestry.
