TOUR I: Skip-The-Line Guided Tours - Doge’s Palace and Golden Basilica + Entrance Ticket to Museo Correr or Old Royal Palace

• Doge’s Palace: The historic Palazzo Ducale had been the seat of political power for centuries and home to the former supreme authority of the Venetian Republic. Presently, it acts as a museum, sharing with visitors a bite of its rich history and incredible wealth - from the intricate detailing of the gold staircases to the prison cellars which had also hosted the legendary Italian explorer, Giacomo Casanova, immortalised by the late Heath Ledger on celluloid. 
• Museo Correr: Here you can feast your eyes on stellar Imperial Rooms of Emperor Sissi as well as the impressive Neoclassical Rooms. You can also use the ticket to visit the 16th century Museo Archeologico Nazionale with its remarkable curation of art works, archeological artifacts, and more.
• Golden Basilica: The model of Italo-Byzantine architecture and a church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Venice - the ravishing Patriarchal Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mark, is a sight to behold. Thanks to our exclusive partnership with the Curia of Venice, you can experience one of the grandest cathedrals in the world with a privileged entry, avoiding the crowds and long queues.
