The Doge experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Beautiful architectural work and historic collections. A must see in Venice! The golden ceilings, the paintings and the prison, all so unknown from looking at the outside

A must see

Published on Oct, 2024

Doge’s palace is definitely worth seeing, so opulent and just a wow moments. Then getting to see the bridge of sighs from the inside and the prison was amazing. Small door ways etc.

Great

Published on Aug, 2024

Great tour. Guide was knowledgeable and made sure we were first in line to be the first ones in the Duomo. Directions to meeting place worked great. I like that they specifically directed us to a store.

Amazing historic Palace and hidden prison quarters across the bridge of sighs!

Published on Jul, 2024

Really excellent experience, what an amazing Palace. Impressive buildings and historic significance, the paintings and statutes are fascinating - too much to take in on one visit - Doge’s Palace is a must when visiting Venice. It was easy to find the place to collect our tickets and very efficient booking process.

Great tour

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a great tour. It started with a virtual reality simulation of what Venice looked like in the 16th and 18th centuries. It was like being inside a model mockup. Very cool. Then the tour of the Doges Palace by Veronica was great. Skipped the long line and got right in. The only thing to note is that the directions to get to the tour office for tickets are hard. It says to go through the arches at the end of St. Marks Square and look for the Olivetti museum then continue walking. However, the Olivetti museum is actually a store front IN St. Marks Square. It has a few old typewriters in the window. Not really an open museum. So watch for that. We called tour office and they stayed on the phone with us until we found them. Very helpful.
