Itinerary

  • Piazza San Marco

    Meet your professional guide in Saint Mark's Square who will escort you into this magnificent palace, to visit the halls of power, and immerse yourself in medieval Europe, among hundreds of masterpieces. Dominating Saint Mark's Square, the heart of Venice, the Doge's Palace stands out for its size and its extraordinary structure, where Byzantine, European and Oriental architecture collide.

    10 minutes

  • Doge's Palace

    Immediately entering the Palace you will pass through the great courtyard and admire the wealth of detail on the famous Golden Staircase. Once inside the Palace, you will visit the halls where the Duke (Doge) and his Council controlled the fate of the Serene Republic, whilst surrounded by hundreds of artistic masterpieces and discover the political history of Venice and its people. You will be able to admire the paintings realised by some of the most important artists of the Italian Renaissance, amongst them, the world's largest oil painting by Tintoretto.

    1 hour

  • Ponte dei Sospiri

    Passing through the famous Bridge of Sighs, you will reach the new prisons. The bridge was given its name by the English poet Lord Byron, probably referring to the last breath of the prisoners, who had their last view of the lagoon and of Venice from the window of this bridge, before they were to be imprisoned. This guided tour concludes in the courtyard of the Doge's Palace. Here it will be possible for you to stay longer inside the Palace absorbing the history and mystery of days gone by.

    5 minutes

  • Museo Correr

    At the end of the tour, keep your Doge's Palace ticket to visit on your own: Museo Correr, Museo Archeologico Nazionale and Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Saint Mark's square, opposite side of the Saint Mark's Basilica.

Fun experience and very interesting

Published on Sep, 2023

Educational Experience

Published on Jun, 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Doge’s history and the paintings. He explained how each room was used and the style of painting/artists who created the various paintings.

Doges Palace Tour

Published on Apr, 2023

The lady was so knowledgeable, we learnt a great deal about Venice and Doges Palace.Worth every penny, and so good not to have to wait in the enormous queue.!

Well organised and delivered tour

Published on Aug, 2022

Well organised and delivered tour. Exactly what I expected. Would say read carefully tour description as some would want to go for a longer tour wiyh greater explanations and 'rooms' to see. This tour was roughly just over an hour. Place was easy to find, thanks to clear instructions. Although group initially looked as much bigger, at certain point it split into a few with different language guide. We were with Andrea, who was very knowledgeble, with good sence of humour, looked after all group so that no one got lost or left behind. Non of our group was history mad, so an hour was enough, on the other hand I felt guide was essential unless you are prepared to reed about the place before the visit. The palace is magnificent, but guide added meaning to the magnificence of the building interior and exterior. Would definitely recommend for those who is going to see the place but does not want to spend there half of the day.

Knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide
