Fabulous, highly recommend - It was amazing the knowledge shown by our guide was incredible. The palace was fabulous, the tour was a little rushed, as my husband did not have the time he wanted to look at everything, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend as a must see/do.

Doges tour - The guide was informative and fun. Thought there would be a bit more to the torture room than just using your imagination.

Doge Palace review - The start location was easy to find. The guide was kind and knowledgeable. It felt a little bit rushed at the end but we were able to go back and explore.

Disappointed in customer service - Disappointed that the tour guide did not call, email, or text to see where we were as we were running 15 minutes late due to lack of info as to meeting site. Missed the tour and still no follow up.

Tour time changed without proper notification. - We did not get to go on the tour because the tour time changed and I was only notified via email, not text and I did not have Wi-Fi access while walking around Venice so we weren’t aware of the fact that our tour changed from 4:15 to 3:45. We were at the meeting point at 4 o’clock, five minutes ahead of the time that we were supposed to be there. The tour operator was not open on the weekends and by Monday, our last day in Venice, there was no time to reschedule the activity. So we not only missed the tour and didn’t get to do it at all, we were not refunded the monies we paid for the tour. I will not use Viator moving forward, as I have used them many many times in the past. NEVER AGAIN. I will be sure to share it from the rooftops for people to avoid Viator at all costs.

Watch out - complete scam. $250 paid and tour guide did not show up. - This was a complete scam. The tour guide did not show up and the number provided for contact was not reachable. We arrived on time as indicated on our ticket, and waited for 30 minutes at the designated meeting point. The tour guide was not where to be found. We called the contact number and the office appeared to be closed.
