Step into the heart of Venice with an engaging one-hour guided walking tour through the legendary St. Mark’s Square. Explore the striking exteriors of three architectural icons, the Basilica di San Marco, the Doge’s Palace, and the Bell Tower, while learning the fascinating stories that shaped the city’s golden age.

Along the way, uncover subtle architectural features and hidden angles perfect for photographs.
