Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Venice with a guided tour of two of its most iconic landmarks: the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. For centuries, the fate of the Venetian Republic was shaped within the majestic walls of the Doge's Palace, a place where power and grandeur reigned supreme. As you wander through its stunning halls, you'll be mesmerized by the exquisite art masterpieces, frescoes, and precious relics on display. Your journey will also take you to the palace's infamous prison, which was once home to the infamous Giacomo Casanova, a charismatic adventurer and seducer who famously escaped in 1756. You'll cross the legendary Bridge of Sighs, which earned its name from the sorrowful glances of prisoners as they caught their last glimpse of the beautiful lagoon before being led to their cells. Next, you'll make your way to St. Mark's Basilica, one of the world's most breathtaking churches. This magnificent cathedral is inextricably linked to Venice's patron saint, St. Mark, whose relics are housed within its walls.
