Wonderful experience - Our tour with Pamela was just wonderful. She shared so much history and answered all of our questions. The night time access to the Basilica is highly recommended. The lights present the beauty of the building in a different way and was so worth it. Definitely recommend this tour. LivTours do an amazing job.

Uplifting experience - What an amazing experience! The church at night was magical and up lifting. Poala had great knowledge of the iconography and essentialism of the church. She made the installation of the mosaic come alive. The experience at night was above our expectations.

Loved this tour! - One of the absolute highlights of our trip! Amazing tour! We loved it. The after hours meant that we only had 3 small groups in the chapel. Less than 20 people. Absolutely worth it. More time to look around. Great photos. Time to stop and learn. Amazing tour. This was me, my wife, 2 adult daughters and son-in-law. Great English, easy to understand. Absolutely loved it!

A Venice Must Do! - Nico is an excellent guide — knowledgeable, easy to understand and personable. The VIP tour of St Marks is a must do in Venice as you learn the fascinating history of this republic/city while seeing this remarkable basilica.

Intimate Night Tour is best way to see St. Mark's Basilica - We felt so fortunate to be able to take a small group tour of St. Mark's Basilica in the evening with our guide, Tullia. She has such a depth of knowledge of Venice, the Basilica as well as the religious significance of the murals. To see the lights turned on was an incredible sight and allows you to appreciate even more the details and workmanship of the domes, the building, artwork, carvings and mosaics. The colors and details in the dome of creation were unbelievable. Tullia provided such a fascinating historical overview and has a great passion for this basilica, allowing us to ask questions as well. We will never forget this incredible tour. Thank you so much for providing this service.
