    We had a fabulous time on this tour! Arianna was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the palace, the government and the prisons, but the tour also held the attention of our teenaged sons- no small feat. The length of time was also perfect. Not too long but we saw a lot. I’ve been to Venice before but had never done a tour through the Doges Palace and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Venice’s history, and the cultural influences from Venice that are now infused through other major parts of the world. I loved this tour, and I’m very grateful to have had Arianna as our guide.

    Such an incredible experience! Viator communicated immediately after booking via email. Our tour guide Elezibeta went above and beyond! Her passion and knowledge for Venetian history was most impressive! She was kind, intelligent and had a wonderful sense of humor! I wish we were staying longer because we would have booked additional tours with her. Thank you for making our tour so enjoyable and memorable!

    Amazing tour of the Doges Palace and prison. Met by the tour guide who was on time . The guide was brilliant so full of knowledge about everything and really interesting ,pleasant and entertaining. Loved the tour which also included going across the bridge of sighs to the prison. Well worth the money for over a two hour tour. Wonderful guide, Would highly recommend
