Doge's Palace & St. Mark's Basilica: Guided Tour With Pala D'Oro Access is a guided cultural tour at Doge's Palace in Venice, combining visits to two of the city's most significant historic sites in a single experience.

The tour takes in the Doge's Palace, the former seat of Venetian political power, and St. Mark's Basilica, the cathedral that has stood at the heart of the city since the ninth century. Visitors also gain access to the Pala D'Oro, the ornate golden altarpiece housed within the basilica and considered one of the finest examples of Byzantine craftsmanship in existence. A guide leads the group through the architecture, artwork, and history of both sites, providing context for Venice's centuries as a maritime republic. Tickets cover guided entry to both the palace and the basilica, including the Pala D'Oro viewing.
