The Doge experience - Beautiful architectural work and historic collections. A must see in Venice! The golden ceilings, the paintings and the prison, all so unknown from looking at the outside

A must see - Doge’s palace is definitely worth seeing, so opulent and just a wow moments. Then getting to see the bridge of sighs from the inside and the prison was amazing. Small door ways etc.

Great - Great tour. Guide was knowledgeable and made sure we were first in line to be the first ones in the Duomo. Directions to meeting place worked great. I like that they specifically directed us to a store.

Amazing historic Palace and hidden prison quarters across the bridge of sighs! - Really excellent experience, what an amazing Palace. Impressive buildings and historic significance, the paintings and statutes are fascinating - too much to take in on one visit - Doge’s Palace is a must when visiting Venice. It was easy to find the place to collect our tickets and very efficient booking process.

Very good visit - Good visit, large rooms majestically decorated, paintings very well preserved and restored. To do without a doubt! Buy the ticket on the spot is cheaper than on websites.

The Doges Palace combines history and art. - The art and the rooms were amazing. The history and the rooms covered in paintings from the floor to the ceilings were worthwhile seeing.

Beautiful palace! Go over Bridge of Sighs - Beautiful place & history. Would go back, but not in the summer. Too hot & crowded. Excellent tour guide, but her microphone had a short so when she was walking it was staticky. Standing still was great!

Only if you have to! - We arrived at the early time but our tickets were not there! We planned to be at Doge’s Palace exactly at 10:00. We walked around the office and did the VR gondola experience while waiting for our tickets. Ladies were nice but our schedule was thrown off. Why are tickets delivered day of? And why say arrive 15 minutes early if tickets are never there? Honestly, Doge’s Palace is dark and dreary and we didn’t enjoy it. The Museo Correr was bright and lovely!

Terrible - The guide was in a great hurry as she had another tour after ours. So a one hour tour she finished it in half hour and told us to do the prisons and bridge of sighs on our own Completely cheated
