During this private tour, Venice will disclose all its beauty to you.
In the period of its greatest power as a trading empire, St. Mark’s Square was the heart of the Republic of Venice. In its Basilica, the Venetians used to fall on their knees and pray, before leaving for years-long trips along the ancient sea routes, connecting Venice with Africa and with the Eastern Countries. Standing in the Square, the ancient inhabitants of Venice would celebrate its victories or cry its failures. Into the rooms of the Doge’s Palace, the greatest political authority of Venice would decide about the future of the city.
Escorted by your expert guide, you will enter into the Basilica avoiding annoying lines, and you will dive into the history of one of the ancient maritime republics. The guide is at your disposal to answer to every question on this wonderful Basilica, where Western architectural style mixes up with Byzantine and Islamic. This place holds the heritage of the millennial history of Venice. The St. Mark’s Treasure and the Pala d’Oro are the most precious and refined wonders that have ever been realised to celebrate the glory of St. Mark and to keep its remains. You won’t miss the spectacle of the Torre dei Mori, masterpiece of engineering, which with its famous astronomic clock has marked the passage of time in Venice for 500 years.
It is now time to enter into the former headquarter of Venice’s political power, from whose docks the departing fleets used to be consecrated. Its role used to be fascinating ambassadors and powerful figures coming from all over the world, besides being the residence of the Doge. Facing St. Mark’s Square on one side, and Riva degli Schiavoni on the other, its inside is considered one of the most beautiful attractions of Venice. A place where luxury and opulence are kings, and where you can breathe the ancient magnificence of the Republic of Venice.
