Basilica of San Marco by night

The NET – Northeastern Experiences adventure will begin at 3:45 p.m., when you will be met by our guide outside the Venice Santa Lucia FFSS Station.

Having then received the little radios to comfortably follow the tour, we will set off on a guided walk through Venice’s fascinating calli, which at this time of year are decorated with Christmas lights that enhance the beauty of Venice even more. Our guide will know how to lead you through hidden corners and charming glimpses of the city, telling you stories and legends of a Venice enveloped in a unique atmosphere. This will be a special time to discover the most iconic as well as the lesser-known places that make Venice an unparalleled city.

We will take a break in one of the typical Venetian bacari, where you will be offered a glass of local wine accompanied by the famous cicchetti, small samples of the Venetian gastronomic tradition. This will be a convivial moment, perfect for relaxing together and savoring the true spirit of the city.

After refreshments, we will resume our journey to one of the most iconic places in the world: St. Mark’s Square. As we approach, you can admire its magnificence shrouded in Christmas lights, a sight that will leave you breathless. Your guide will reveal the secrets of this extraordinary square, telling you its long history.

The real highlight of the evening will come when our group will have the exclusive privilege of entering St. Mark’s Basilica, reserved only for us for a private night tour. The breathtaking beauty of the specially illuminated golden mosaics and the intimate atmosphere of the basilica will provide you with a truly awe-inspiring experience, combining art, spirituality and history.

At the end of the visit, a private boat will be waiting for us to take us back along the canals of Venice, with an evocative nighttime ride that will take us to Venice Santa Lucia Station. The reflection of the lights on the water and the stillness of the canals will give you one last unforgettable image of this enchanted city.

It will be difficult to leave Venice after such a magical evening, but you will take with you the memory of a unique experience.
