CANCELLATION POLICY

St. Marks is incredible all by itself. Glittering with its intricate gold mosaics and “imported” decor, it needs no tour guide to embellish its beauty. But a knowledgeable guide helps us understand the history at the very least, and at best expands our appreciation for the community that built it and participated with it over time. Our guide, Ellena, shared not only the history, but her personal experiences growing up in Venice and attending services/events in the church. Along with the fact that our tour began at 9am and beat the crowds, having a wonderful guide really enhanced our experience of the place.

I purchased tickets for Saturday 27th April, then the date of the ticket that arrived by email stated 1st May. It was not possible to cancel the order, modify it, or recover the expense. on Saturday San Marco was closed for the arrival of the Pope. in short, they stole €64 from me

All Venice Tours Srl staff, especially GAIA and her manager, were really patience, friendly and helpful. The location is close to St Mark's Square.

Unfortunately, despite reserving my ticket weeks in advance, I did not receive the tickets from this service. The support team was unable to resolve the issue or offer a refund. I suggest exploring alternative services for skip-the-line tickets.

I paid 20€ for a visit that was worth 6€. For this price, I had to ask at the entrance to find out where to get the ticket, it was in an adjacent street 500m from the visit, very hard to find! Then, I had to queue again with everyone who had queue cuts. It's up to you to judge, but it's true that the real queue was over an hour...

We were fortunate to be guided by Valentina, who was an exceptional tour guide. Not only was she super knowledgeable about the Basilica she had a lovely energy. We liked the way that she was able to talk to the rich symbolism of the church, while also talking to its meanings for the people.
