Itinerary

  • Doge's Palace

    The duration of the Doge's Palace tour in Venice will be about an hour, during which you can admire the Opera Museum, the Lodge Atrium, the famous Golden Staircase, the Institutional Chambers

    1 hour

  • Piazza San Marco (Pass By)

    St. Mark's Square is Venice on parade, where everyone comes to see and be seen. It is Venice's only square with the title of "piazza" — the rest are called "campo." Life has revolved around this piazza since the days of the Republic, when it was a market, as well as the center of civic and religious life. Considered one of the finest squares in the world and certainly Venice's prime attraction, it is surrounded on three sides by the stately arcades of public buildings and on the fourth, by Basilica di San Marco and Campanile

  • Basilica di San Marco (Pass By)

    Known as ‘Golden Basilica’ from the predominant colour of the mosaics and numerous valuables kept inside, St Mark’s Basilica combines faith and the pomp of the ancient Republic of Venice. With its five domes, the finely carved front with bas-reliefs, sculptures and mosaics, St Mark’s Church in Venice is a treasure of inestimable value.

  • Campanile di San Marco (Pass By)

    Giving the broad expanse of Piazza San Marco its vertical dimension is the campanile, the tall brick bell tower for the basilica. It towers above the corner of the arcaded Procuratie Nuove, linking the Piazza and the Piazzetta. The campanile is so tall that it was used by approaching ships as a beacon to guide them home. It was begun in the 10th century and completed in the 12th century, but its pointed roof and gilded pinnacle weren't added until the 15th century. On July 14, 1902, it collapsed into the piazza, but, in 1912, it has been rebuilt 'as it was and where it was'.

Perfect tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a wonderful time exploring the Doge’s Palace and learning about the great history. Our guide was fantastic.

Fabulous, highly recommend

Published on Oct, 2024

It was amazing the knowledge shown by our guide was incredible. The palace was fabulous, the tour was a little rushed, as my husband did not have the time he wanted to look at everything, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend as a must see/do.

Amazing experience

Henrico was a great guide. The tour was informative and well worth the money. We were able to skip the line and get in fast.

Great tour!

Published on Jun, 2024

I thought this was an excellent tour. At first I was surprised we got headphones, but then I realized this was just so everyone could hear in a crowded environment. The tour was very informative of the history of Venice as well as the Doge's palace. I highly recommend it!
