Discover the Beauty of Piazza San Marco in Venice, Italy
Piazza San Marco is one of the most iconic squares in the world, and is the main public space in Venice, Italy. It is situated between the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica, and is the only square in Venice that is not named after a saint. The square is over 100m long and 50m wide, and is paved with white marble. It is often crowded with tourists, who come to see the beautiful buildings and to watch the Venetian life go by. The two most notable buildings in the square are the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica. The Doge's Palace is a beautiful Gothic building that was the home of the Doge of Venice, the supreme ruler of the city. It is now a museum, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Venice. St Mark's Basilica is a stunning Byzantine building, and is one of the most important churches in Venice. It is said to contain the remains of St Mark, the patron saint of Venice.

Amazing Tour
Veronica was the best. Her knowledge about Venice, The Doges Palace, and Saint Marks were captivating. We did numerous kinds of tours while in Italy and Veronica topped them all. She took time to get to know us as well. The experience was personalized while still very professional. Communication was superior throughout the entire process. We hope to see Veronica again.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!
My husband and I were fortunate enough to choose Veronica for our private tour of St. Mark's Cathedral and the Doge's Palace in Venice. She was so passionate and knowledgeable, and her enthusiasm made us enjoy it more than we ever would have on our own or with an audio tour. The process was a breeze and she touched base with us as we made our way to our meeting point so finding her was easy on a crowded day. Without her expertise, we would never know what we were looking at. She answered our many questions and gave us insight that was fascinating. I can't recommend her enough!
