Ottavia was a wonderful guide! We really enjoyed her knowledge about Venezia. She also gave us a fantastic recommendation for a restaurant to eat at as well! ¡fantastica!

An amazing and excellent experience. We had our own private guide who was extremely knowledgeable and there were only 20 people inside the church when we went. The light show is amazing. This is so worth it!

pfem22

A night to remember. This tour was amazing and a very unique experience. Our own guide, a light show in the basilica, and less then 20 people in the church. It was amazing!

What an amazing guide Ottavia was! She meandered us through beautiful Venice and its tiny calles, with a history lesson along the way. The time in St Marks basilica was nothing short of magical, watching it go from dark to slowly lighting it, revealing the marble and mosaics and more! Amazing facts and myths were shared about the building of this incredible place. Don’t miss this tour!!

We had the after hours exclusive tour of St Mark Bascilica. Our Guide Sabrina was Wonder! We were very lucky as we are the only couples having the tour. It felt even more private. We enjoyed the history and the small talks. It felt more comfortable to voice out our questions. The English was great and we had no issue understanding. There was places in the church that we wont get to visit during the normals tour. We really enjoyed.

Adriana was outstanding from the moment we met and throughout the entire tour. She was dynamic and attentive in understanding our interests and tailoring the tour to us, rather than just delivering a memorized standard tour. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely request Adriana the next time we are in Venice. The private St Mark’s Basilica at night tour was exactly the type of experience we were looking for and Andriana made our tour such an exceptional experience. Well done Angelo in designing and arranging the option with the basilica! We have quite a few more tours with LivTours coming up in other cities. We hope they are all of the same high quality as Adriana and the basilica tour. We highly recommend the Saint Mark’s Basilica at Night tour — it was a magical experience to be in the basilica without the crowds. The spectacular floor of the basilica can only really be seen without the crowds. Also, the experience of being in the cathedral with the lights out, and then having them turn on is magical. Thank you Adriana and Angelo!

Excellent tour. Our evening tour of St. Marco's Basilica with Adriana was a great experience. Adriana’s knowledge and passion for the history and art of this magnificent landmark were truly engaging. Adriana expertly guided us through the intricate mosaics, awe-inspiring architecture, and hidden treasures of the basilica. Not only was Adriana incredibly knowledgeable, but she also had a warm and friendly demeanor that made us feel comfortable. She took the time to answer all of our questions and shared important history that deepened our understanding of the basilica. We left with an appreciation for the artistry and history of this iconic landmark that we wouldn’t have gained on our own.
