Skip the line was great. We did then have to queue inside for our audio guide which was rented for an additional €5. The audio guide is so worth it! And getting to skip the first queue makes queuing inside for the guide easier. We spent about 2.5 hours in the Doge's palace. We would have liked to do the hidden secrets tour but we didn't find out about it until they were sold out. This was really enjoyable though and I think I would go back again for the hidden secrets tour. I'd like to emphasise, definitely get the audio guide! It doesn't come with earphones and you can't connect via bluetooth. We just held it up to our ear though as if we were making a phone call as the audio guide is a phone. We were the very last people to get into the Correr museum. They are very strict about the last entry time. We got there at 4:55pm and were allowed join the queue. A small group came at 4:59 and were not. The staff were closing the shutters behind us as we walked through the rooms. It meant we had the place without crowds! It is confusing as to which part belong to which museum...we definitely did not get up to the art gallery part as we entered so late. The royal rooms are so worth visiting so don't take the exit after the historical artifacts, keep going! We spent an hour doing the artifacts and the royal rooms.

Das Programm begann eine halbe Stunde später, was für uns gar kein Problem bedeutete. Die Fremdenführerin hat aber zwei im Voraus nicht angemeldete Touristen mit aufgenommen und hat dadurch den Überblick anscheinend verloren. Uns hat es nicht gestört, aber sie musste beim Kauf der Terassentickets wahrscheinlich ein wenig Verlust in Kauf nehmen, da gerade zwei Fremde unbemerkt mit der Gruppe durch den Eintritt ins Museum und Terasse eingeschlichen sein mussten, wie es sich später herausstellte. So musste sie noch zwei Tickets - wahrscheinlich auf die eigene Tasche - extra kaufen. Ich denke, das könnte man einfach mit einem Halsband oder Sticker vermeiden und ihr Leben stressfreier machen. Wir konnten wirklich schnell in den Dom rein, es hat sehr gut geklappt. Was sehr störend und für mich die Führung ungenießbar machte, war die miserable Tonqualität der Audio-Guide und der "halbe" (nur in einem Ohr) Kopfhörer hat es noch weiter verschlechtert, weil unsere Fremdenführerin ziemlich leise und geschlossen gesprochen hat. Nach kurzer Zeit musste ich das gedankliche Mithalten aufgeben. Vor dem Programm haben wir nur gehofft, dass wir noch selbständig im Dom bleiben können und das war wirklich so. Der Besuch der Terasse und des Dommuseums war inklusive und das fanden wir supertoll. Unsere dreiköpfige Gesellschaft ist dann noch etwa eine Stunde im Dom geblieben, das Dommuseum angeschaut usw. Der Vormittag war trotz der Schwierigkeiten ein einzigartiges und unvergessliches Erlebnis für uns. Die Beschreibung des Programms könnte damit ergänzt werden, dass man auch die Terasse und das Museum mit wunderbaren Textilien, Maketts etc. besuchen kann. Vorher wussten wir davon keinen Bescheid.

The staff at the Doge Palace were very unhelpful and not particularly friendly. I went to get an audio guide and the lady working there was very blunt, gave no explanation and just said it was closed - it wasn't even 12pm at the time. I asked another member of staff who explained they had run out of audio guides hence why it had closed. The staff seemed generally miserable.
