This tour is truly a private tour of both the Palace and Basilica. Grace gave us a fantastic experience and lots of information throughout. We were so glad we decided to pay a little extra for this experience. We were the only group in the Palace and one of two in the Basilica. We cannot recommend this tour enough!!!

Elanor was the MOST AMAZING guide. She was so knowlegable and communicated very clearly. She was also very patient when half the group had to drop out due to the heat! We were able to hang on to the end, and it was so worth it. One of the best things we did on our trip. Can't recommend highly enough

La visite de nuit de San Marco est superbe et mérite le prix. Par contre ça va vite et on ne visite pas leb musée ni la terrasse.
Je déconseille la visite de nuit du palais des Doges. Trop rapide et on était pressé par les gardes du musée de partir de manière pas trop agréable. Notre guide était top

Guide was very knowledgable and spoke very good English (always appreciated). Being in St Mark's after hours made all the difference. Worth every penny.
