Overview

Discover the Doge's Palace like never before with our exclusive guided tour. Tired of long lines like at airport security? Skip them and dive straight into Venetian history, picturing yourself as a guest of the Doge, walking through grand halls filled with opulence and secrets. This isn't just a tour; it's an invitation to step into the shoes of past rulers of one of the most powerful empires the world has known. The Doge's Palace was more than a residence—it was the nerve center of a republic that shaped history. Picture the grandeur of the White House meeting the intrigue of "House of Cards." With a local guide, explore chambers of power, where gold-plated rooms witnessed decisions that ruled the Mediterranean. If Bill Gates had been around, he’d have admired the strategic brilliance behind these walls. Hear stories of Casanova’s legendary escape, secret trials in hidden rooms, and political backstabbing that would give James Bond a run for his money

Itinerary

  • Doge's Palace

    The Palazzo Ducale represented for centuries the seat of Venetian political power. In its splendid rooms, surrounded by hundreds of painting masterpieces, the Doge and his Council controlled the fate of a thousand-year old republic. The experienced guide will show you the halls of power, plunging you into a very special setting: the European Middle Ages and the centuries immediately following. You’ll be surprised at the rich details of the gold staircase, at the realism of the scenes depicted by many artists who have decorated this building, you will relive the anguish of the prisoners crossing the famous Bridge of Sighs, and entering the Venetian prisons, famous for hosting Giacomo Casanova.

    50 minutes

  • Museo Correr

    You may visit by yourself the other magnificent palaces around St. Mark’s Square under the name of Procuratie Nuove with the same ticket! You will discover the way of life of the venetians, with paintings, library, coinage, sculpture. You will be entered in the secrets of Venice Empire, with description of Arsenale who produced the famous battleship Galea. You will visit the area built by Napoleon including the majestic Dancing Hall and the the rooms restored for Empress Sissi.

Very entertaining and informative

Published on Oct, 2023

Valentina was an excellent, engaging tour guide. The Doge’s Palace is enormous- you could probably spend half a day there but this tour really focused on the highlights.

Informative tour of a fascinating location

Published on Oct, 2023

I thought this tour was fascinating. It addition to seeing the architecture and the art, the really great thing was hearing about the government structure of the doge. I learned a lot.

Don’t Miss Out!

Published on Oct, 2023

Our guide Gloria was excellent. She knew the Doge’s Palace inside out. She also had a deep understanding and knowledge of Italian, Venetian and European history so really brought to life what was happening at any given time and why. Excellent Guide and Great tour! Highly recommend.

Excellent tour!

Published on Sep, 2023

The experience, our guide, Carolina, was excellent! She explained in detail and her peaceful and calm demeanor was very soothing. The palaces were nothing short of impressive.

Private tour of Doge's Palace & Bridge of Sighs with Valentina was fantastic! So glad we did it.

Published on Sep, 2023

We had a great tour with our guide Valentina of Doge's Palace and the surrounding area. At the time of our tour start, other guests decided not to join us and we therefore ended up having a private tour. She was very knowledgeable, answered any questions we had and adjusted based on our pace and interest. Highly recommend Valentina & this tour!
