Doge's Palace Tours

There were two of us and we booked an hour walk with a guide. It was easy to book and I would highly recommend it. We were only in Venice for two days and the walking tour gave us so much information and helped us to get orientated. It very much added to our trip!!

The guide was very competent and mainly reported on the difficulties of the local Venetians. We were frightened by the decline in the number of residents reported in Venice (about 100,000 in 1960, today 49,000) and the frightening takeover of shops and restaurants by the Chinese.

This was a tremendous tour! It was clear where and when we were supposed to meet and highly organized when we arrived. We promptly began our tour with a guide who is highly knowledgable. She spoke slowly and clearly and answered our questions as we explored and listened. When a couple sets of ear buds quit working she quickly changed those out. At the end she gave us a tip to wait on the terrace to see the clock work on the hour. Highly recommend this tour!

Valentina was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable. It was evident she loves Venice and you could feel her enthusiasm! She was also very patient with our group as there was flooding and it took a while to walk on the platforms to the Basilica.

The ticket gave us access to the Palazzo, the Bridge of Sighs and the prison to view at our own pace and this was what we wanted. We did pick up an audio guide for €5 within the palace but unfortunately the battery on the device ran out halfway through so they gave us our money back. The guide book provided with the ticket was a generic book on the area, not just the Palazzo, but nevertheless it is a good guide providing lots of lovely photos and information that we used to help us during our stay in Venice.

The sight of the boat when arriving was a little disappointing, another idea at the start, according to the photo of the very selling site. But our skyper swept this negative note. Thank you to him for his energy, his passion for the place and his history

The tour was excellent and very well thought out. It's all because of the very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. She had a great command over the language, it was easy to get through what she was explaining and she was very personable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice. 5 stars

One great attraction to complete the visit at the Doge’s palace and a greatly informed guide. Kristian gave a english and italian tour of the main rooms of the prison and explained the torture devices so nicely and fun to enjoy, for kids as well, since we had some in the group. Fantastic experience!
