Value for money package of 3 with great views over Venice. Topp - The 3-package with Campanile, Doge's Palace and Museum Correr offers a lot of interesting information, who wants to read the info boards in each room who does not can alsosimply make the pictures and exhibitions arrangements look on sic. Note: audioguide costs extra and was not included in my package. But many historical facts are preserved - gladly again. Time slot for the 3 activities also variable - so you remain independent.

Very helpful - but get the Guided Tour - This tour is self guided and is useful if you don’t have too much time. The Doges Palace has a lot of history and so I recommend a guided tour.

Excellent tour and guide! - Skip-the-line always makes sense and so much to see. The jail space goes on forever, more than needed, but crossing the Bridge of Sighs was memorable, and only one way out. Much more than expected, so don’t miss the palace!

What to do - At first the negative to not return to it.the modification of the day DE the visit a week before the understandable but average visit,but when you are told instead DE rdv that you must more and more EN go to another agency and that this one does not have an external sign we pass several times DE without finding, tearing our hair in the way.thanks to the visual acuity DE my daughter who saw the name in the shop ... now the visit particularly interesting and captivating by our gui DE (moreover helpful and attentive )by the sum DE details lavished.the visit of the sumptuous palace, the DE description of the political, artistic, military and economic world of this period is rich and fascinating,contrast with the glaucous and sordid of the visit of the ducal jails.Barely hidden by the exterior beauty of the bridge of sighs.magnificent, imposing, luxurious, of the dream in the footsteps of history.delight of this discovery.Care a little more the organization and everything would be Perfetto.

Walk around the palace - We just walked around the palace , didn’t realise until we got there there was no guide , we were just given a book , the only plus side is we skipped the queue to get in My own fault for not reading the tour correctly but was mislead by Webb site saying trips were getting sold out , you could easily pay on the day

Deceptive - I wasn’t happy with what I paid, in the description they say it includes the climb to the bell that was what I was interested in and when it arrived they tell me that that was optional and that I should have selected it but I was never given the option to choose it during the purchase process, better go straight to Doge’s Palace on your own it comes out 25 euros and there is no line. I only give you one more star in case you quickly answer my doubts through your robot AI and by one of your staff who helped me when searching for my tickets. Other than that it's not worth what you pay.

Palace=Beautiful, this Package =Disappointing - The palace itself was beautiful, but the experience around it was really disappointing. I really wish I read the reviews more carefully. The “guidebook” included was just a generic book of Venice, not very helpful for a self-guided tour of the palace. The app for the audio guide didn’t work. This was after having mobile data and pre downloading the app and guide at the collection point for the tickets. Then trying using data at the Palace, and then trying with WiFi at the palace. We contacted the provider on Viator app to have an AI answer encouraging us to go back to the collection point, except we had already entered the palace. We resorted to buying the official Doge’s Palace audio guide as well. I followed up again the following day, then again 1 week later, only to receive chatbot replies saying my case was “escalated.” It’s been two weeks and I've not hears from the provider/company directly. I recommend buying tickets directly and using the official audio guide or tour. This was overpriced and not worth the hassle.
