Venice: Doge's Palace Guided Tour with Skip The Line Tickets

Posted By : Susan_C
Fabulous tour with a fabulous guide who was knowledgeable and engaging. The Doges Palace is a must visit …. but the meeting point was chaotic and needs sorting out. Almost missed our tour because we were told by one guy to wait at the side and the tour left without us even realising. Fortunately he radioed thro for us and we caught up without missing more than an intro. Really recommend but get there early and check which actual operator is doing the tour so you can identify their flag/logo because Viator is the agent and doesn’t actually do the tour.

There were multiple tours occurring and we needed up in the wrong tour. Guide was a bit difficult to understand due to accent. They were nice. The pace was slow at first and then the end felt rushed. I would not recommend. I got more from going at my own pace and reading the signs.

The Doges Palace was very impressive; the guide was excellent and her knowledge was incredible . Even when we had to unexpectedly queue to enter the bridge of sighs she still had more than enough information to share and used all the extra time . She was obviously not expecting to queue and was very disappointed by this but she was very professional and gave us as much information as the time demanded without expecting us to just wait around.

Was a good tour through the Doges palace. Tour started like 20 mins late and then another 20 mins waiting in line (thought it was skip the line?)

My husband and i have done plenty of tours over the past couple of years with some great guides but our tour guide today, Claire, was the best by far.
She made it personal by memorising everyone's name and and involved everyone the whole time. Claire was fun, bubbly, full of knowledge and full of energy. You could see how passionate Claire was which made the tour even more special.
Thank you Claire for being such a fabulous guide.
We defiantly recommend this tour 😊

Sandra was absolutely wonderful! So knowledgeable and such an incredible guide. Really brought the past to life. Best tour we’ve had here in Italy.

Our guide was informative but in an interesting and easy to follow manner did not limit her talk to long ago history but more recent events

The Tour Guide Eliza was outstanding. Always making sure the group members special needs were completely taken care of. Several members, myself included, needed a slower pace especially with stairs and she ALWAYS made sure we were comfortable and waited for everyone to regroup before continuing. Eliza’s knowledge of the history and methods/practice at that time were complete and clearly explained. I would sign up for another tour with her any day. Thank you.

This is an excellent 3 hour tour for those who want to know more about the history of Venice, art in Venice and the antiquity mosaics in the Cathedral of St. Mark's. Our guide was excellent: knowledgable, personable, clear and articular. Even though April, the crowds were full in St. Mark's Square, so we were glad we were "skipping the line." We saw and learned so much. Our guide was very detailed about the Palace, the Doges, the art, the prison + Bridge of Sighs and the Cathedral construction and art.
