Full description
For centuries, the Doge's Palace, a majestic architectural masterpiece, greeted the ships coming in from the lagoon. During this tour, discover the heart of Venice and its history with skip-the-line access and personal audio system. The Doge’s Palace is one of the most important symbols of Venice and for centuries represented the seat of Venetian political power. In its grand rooms, the Duke and his Council controlled the fate of the Serenissima surrounded by hundreds of artistic masterpieces. Exploring its powerful hallways, golden staircases and important paintings, you will have the opportunity to go back in time and discover a place where Byzantine and Oriental architecture collide. While inside, admire some of the most famous works by Tintoretto, Veronese and other important artists. Finally, feel the anguish of the prisoners, who after crossing the well-known Bridge of Sighs entered into the darkness of the prisons here, which famously hosted Giacomo Casanova. Learn how the prisoners of the Moste Serene Republic used to live.

The tour was lovely. I felt like we spent just enough time in each room, and the hide gave really interesting historical background as we went. There are so many things I never knew about Venice. We could also go back to whichever parts of the palace we wanted after the tour ended.

I was hesitant at first thinking this might not be an informative tour, but I was so wrong. This tour was excellent and our tour guide exceptional! She gave us history not just on the palace but of Venice too. She made the tour fun and skipping the line was totally worth it!

For guided tour do if you want a long thorough history (this they do well) for me I can’t stand stationary for long periods of time >15-20min at a time which occurred for each room. I prefer moving and talking tours. They provide ear pieces which are great.
