Tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable! Amazing place! Unfortunately huge ques even with the skip the line pass. Apparently due to the pope visiting Sunday. The que was still shorted than the main admissions que though.

The only problem was with the audio guide. In most of the rooms, halfway through listening to an audio, it jumped to another one and I had to start again, for no reason. Without having touched the screen, without having asked for it, etc... This was a bit desperate because the explanations were cut off and I had to look for the point where I was again.

Ticket was easy to book, did it online on my phone the day beforehand. Timing is everything!!! I went late around 5. 30pm on a very Sunny Sunday to avoid crowds and tourist groups and was not disappointed! Wow jaw dropping & stunning outside and inside! Plus hardly any tourists there at that time so managed to get some great pictures & videos! Worth the money!

Not hiding the walls of the doge apartments. It would have been more enjoyable to see a mixture of the rooms and the exhibit. Everything else was as expected.
