Traveler reviews
Active tour. Lots of...
Active tour. Lots of stairs. Information overload. Too much detail about the government/ councils. Lots of beautiful paintings.
Nice tour with knowledgeable guide
Nice tour by knowledgeable guide. We were met promptly at the meeting location and were given listening devices. The tour lasted approximately 2 hours. The Doge’s Palace is a must see in Venice and this was a very informative and enjoyable tour.
Wonderful Palace and Prison Tour
Well worth taking a tour to learn about the history of the palace and prison. Our guide, Aliza, added a lot of humor to some of the sights which made it both informative and fun.
Fantastic Tour
A great tour and a wonderful guide at that. Edi was awesome guide that was both knowledgeable and entertaining.
Donatella was terrific
The private tour provides an excellent opportunity to ask questions about the palace and history of Venice that bring the place to life.
