Private Venice Night Tour with Exclusive Entry Into St Mark's Basilica Reviews

A Hidden Gem of a Tour

LivTours really delivered something extraordinary. From the quiet Rialto Bridge to the slow reveal of gold inside St. Mark’s, every moment felt intentional and exclusive. Our guide’s passion made us see Venice in a whole new way.

The Best Way to End Our Trip

Our last night in Venice couldn’t have been more perfect. The glow of St. Mark’s Piazza and the exclusivity of being almost alone inside the Basilica made us feel part of something rare. Thank you, LivTours, for making it unforgettable.

Intimate, Personal, and Breathtaking

We’ve done plenty of private tours in Europe, but this one stands out. Our guide shared Venice’s quirky traditions as we wandered the quiet lanes, and the moment we stepped into the dim Basilica — just us and a handful of people — felt transcendent.

A Photographer’s Dream

As an amateur photographer, this was heaven. Venice at night is stunning, but being able to shoot inside St. Mark’s Basilica without crowds was unreal. The gradual lighting made for some of my best shots ever. LivTours made it seamless.

The Most Peaceful Tour in Venice

We took this on our last night and wished we’d done it sooner. The night air, the reflections in the canals, and the quiet grandeur of St. Mark’s were pure poetry. I’ll remember standing under that golden ceiling for a long time.

Perfect for a Romantic Night

We booked this as a surprise for my partner, and it was unforgettable. Venice at night feels like a secret — quiet canals, glowing facades, and that private entry into St. Mark’s Basilica. We ended our night sipping wine in the square, still in awe.

A True VIP Experience

Our guide Luca was exceptional — friendly, funny, and full of stories. He led us through Venice’s alleys to the Basilica, which opened just for us. When the lights went up over the Pala d’Oro, we were speechless. This was luxury travel done right.

Beyond Beautiful

The moment the Basilica lights turned on, I actually teared up. It was that beautiful. The mosaics glittered like stars, and our guide’s storytelling made the whole place come alive. I’ve never had a tour so moving and peaceful.

Quiet Magic in St. Mark’s Square

We joined the tour with friends from our cruise and were amazed by how empty Venice felt at night. Seeing St. Mark’s Square lit up with no tourists was surreal. The private Basilica access was the cherry on top — breathtaking!

An Incredible Family Memory

Our guide, Martina, was patient and lovely with our elderly parents. She made sure we moved at a comfortable pace and never missed a story. The exclusive Basilica entry was something none of us will forget — especially the crypt, which was eerie and fascinating.
