Venice: Doge's Palace guided tour and gondola ride

Visit the Doge’s Palace with the Bridge of Sighs and then get on gondola to explore the Grand Canal!

The experience starts with the guided visit to the Doge Palace: the expert guide will show you the incredible halls of the power and the residences of the most powerful dignitaries of the Venice Republic.

You’ll see the golden staircase, the stunning “Last Judgment” by Tiepolo and then you’ll cross the Bridge of Sighs to go down to the Venetian Prisons.

In the afternoon get on gondola and admire the Grand Canal in all its beauty: you’ll see the Mozart House, Fenice Opera House, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Santa Maria della Salute Church and, at end, you appreciate a marvelous overview of Piazza San Marco.

This is the only gondola ride with commentary aboard that will explain the itinerary step by step.
