Full description
The visit starts with a licensed guide in St. Mark's Square before entering the basilica with the group.
Every option includes basilica admission, with about 20 minutes inside during which you stay with the guide. The basic package leaves out the museum and terrace, which an upgrade adds; other versions include the Campanile by lift, and some add Doge's Palace.
Later visits are either independent with digital audio guides or part of a guided combination, depending on the option. Reviewers praised patient, knowledgeable guides but mentioned crowds and the number of steps.
