The tour guide was very informative and provided us all with great background on the history of the Doge's Palace. However, the weather (heat/humidity) forced us to leave the tour early. We were wilting.

Our tour guide Michaela was wonderful. She was very informative with good details about both Doge Palace and the Basilics. I really liked the audio devices. It really helped me hear everything that she was saying without having to stand right next to her. I do recommend going on as early a tour as possible. We went at 8:30am, and there were no crowds at all when we first started.

Breeze past the queues and slip straight into Venice’s two most iconic landmarks without the wait.

With your guide as storyteller and curator, uncover hidden symbols, political intrigues, and legends that bring each room alive.

Walk through gilded chambers and frescoed halls where doges once ruled, then cross the Bridge of Sighs into the shadowy prisons.

Step into St. Mark’s Basilica, where 8,000 sq. m. of golden mosaics shimmer like starlight and marble floors echo centuries of worship.
