Our tour guide Francesca was beyond incredible. Often, the tour guide can make or break the experience. Though both St. Mark's basilica and the Doge's palace were awe inspiring in their own right and were absolutely stunning, Francesca was so knowledgeable about both and her personable attitude and undeniable love for Venice and the subjects of the tour invited us in on her passion. It was a wonderful, once in a lifetime experience that I'm so glad we got to have!

Doge’s Palace was absolutely breathtaking and easily one of the highlights of our Venice trip. The architecture, artwork, and history are simply magnificent. Walking through the grand halls and across the Bridge of Sighs was an unforgettable experience. Everything was well-organized, and the staff were helpful and professional. A must-visit attraction that truly brings Venice’s history to real!!
