Very nice tour. Interesting.

Worth the cost for the extra features of this tour crossing the Bridge of Sighs and entering the prison. Normally the palace line is short , skip the line is not necessary for reasonable entry.

Our guide was wonderful and gave us all the details that we would have never known if we went on our own. Highly recommended!

An excellent tour of the most significant historic government building in Venice, the Doge's Palace. You avoid the line, and our tour guide Arianna Gambirasi was fabulous. We were supplied with headphones, so you could wander a bit away from her, and still hear everything she was saying! The tour also included going into the adjoining prison, by walking over the famous Bridge of Sighs. The only warning I would give anyone thinking of taking this tour, is that the Palace has many, many stairways with many, many steps. If you have physical limitations you might not want to do this. Otherwise it is an interesting tour with many beautiful things to see.
