Lot of fun - Interesting to hear about the history of the Palace. A word of caution: there are MANY tour groups & in a few spots it is easy to get separated from your group. Just watch for your flag.

Great tour for the money and fantastic guide - Claire was great! I appreciated her enthusiasm and love for Venice. You can tell she loves the city and she loves telling people all about it. I'd take another tour just for her 😊. Also Doge's Palace was really cool and we thought the experience was a great deal for the money. We walked right in past lines and we learned all sorts of things we never would've known had it not been for our tour. Thank you!

Perfect tour - I would recommend this tour! Our guide was super knowledgeable, friendly, took her time, perfect sized group. We went on May 8, and Venice was beginning tourist season, so it was starting to get cold crowded. Over all loved the tour. The guide gave us enough time and explanation and then we had the opportunity to walk around afterwards to explore more
