Amazing tour - It’s our second time in palace and this time we decided to take guided tour . It was worth every penny. Simonetta, our tour guide was amazing and shared with us the history of Venice and the palace itself. The tour was very interesting, informative and not boring at all. We didn’t notice how these 2 hours fly by. Really recommend it. Bravo Simonetta!

Well worth every penny!! - A very good guide, who was both fluent and articulate in our language. She had great historical knowledge, and the experience was much better than a pre-recorded audio guide.

Great tour, great tour guide! - Our guide Marita was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was amazing. We couldn’t have known the whole story of the Doges without Marita. The palace itself is a must see along with the art works, the architecture, the Bridge of Sighs and the prison cells. We only took the Doges Palace part of the tour which was a good 2 hours well spent. Thank you, Marita.
