Yes, the crowds in Venice are extreme, but once inside the doge's palace because it is so large, it was peaceful and so beautiful absolutely not to be missed. With these tickets, we walked right in. The decoration and paintings are over the top and a beautiful example from that time period. It includes walking over the bridge of sighs and into the prison which I found fascinating.

This is a family run business that stay true to its ad. Skip the line really meant skip the line. Unlike many other companies. Don't hesitate if you're considering choosing to go with them. The door was fabulous and father and daughter were there to welcome us into the Piazza so we didn't wonder Where we needed to go, again unlike other companies. I highly recommend.

Marvel at the Golden Staircase, a stunning 15th-century entrance reserved for esteemed dignitaries. Benefit from the 3 museum pass to save big!

The place is truly spectacular. From the wonderfully crafted finishes and paintings, to the wonderful architecture and spaces. The visitor journey is through all the key areas of the building, private quarters, civic spaces, jail, etc. Awesome!

We entered the palace one hour before closing time and we did not wait at all. One of the most compelling reasons to visit the Doge’s Palace is its architecture and especially the ceilings of the grand halls — they are truly spectacular. Golden Staircase Ceiling has rich stuccoes embellished with gold leaf, frescoed panels, and allegorical figures. The staircase itself is a visual spectacle and sets the tone for what’s above. Sala del Maggior Consiglio- this enormous hall—53 m by 25 m (approx) and once seating 1,000+ nobles—features a wooden ceiling entirely covered with gold and painted canvases, without internal supporting columns. If I were to sum it up: yes, I highly recommend the skip-the-line ticket for the Doge’s Palace, especially if you’re visiting during a busy period. But importantly: go in with an eye for the architecture and ceilings — because those are among the things that set this place apart. If you’re short on time in Venice and want to maximize the experience without waiting in queues, the skip-entry is a smart choice. Make sure you allocate enough time (at least 60-90 minutes) to really savour the large halls, look upward, and absorb the ceiling details (and don’t rush through them).

It was an interesting tour, but the audio guide was difficult to use and listen to live, it didn't follow the sequence of the rooms overlapping with the time allocated for each one.

St. Mark's Basilica

The Cathedral of Saint Mark, also referred to as the Basilica of San Marco, stands as an iconic symbol within Venice's landscape. Nestled in the heart of the Piazza San Marco, it serves as the final resting place for Saint Mark, the city's esteemed patron saint. Adorned with resplendent golden mosaics, intricate embellishments, and 5 majestic domes, the basilica epitomizes the grandeur of Byzantine architecture. See also the basilica's treasury, housing a collection of priceless artifacts, including ancient manuscripts, liturgical objects, and relics of saints.

With fast-track access, zoom past the queue and begin your journey by marveling at the grandeur of the palace's courtyards.

See the extensive collection of weaponry and armor displayed in the palace's Armoury.
