Uncover the best of Doge's Palace the local Way

"An excellent tour of the basilica and palace by Roko. He was deeply knowledgeable about the subject matter, was thoughtful about the perspective he gave to the tour and was respectful of us and others around us. "

"We had a fantastic experience on this tour! There were 7 of us in our group, and our private guide, Marco, was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly nice, welcoming, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Throughout the journey, he shared fascinating, in-depth details about the history of the buildings and perfectly tied everything back to the grand history of Venice. His storytelling brought the monuments to life and kept all of us fully engaged from start to finish. We truly could not have asked for a better guide. We would absolutely use Marco again and highly recommend him to anyone!"

"We are a family of 4, including twin 10 year old girls, from Houston, TX USA. We only had 3 days in Venice, and we spent 2 of them on tours with Lucia, and she was amazing! My girls adored Lucia and could hardly wait for the second tour with her. She had a fun scavenger hunt ready to go as we first toured the Basilica and then the palace. We all learned so much about the history and culture of Venice, and the hunt kept my girls happy and engaged. In the square, Lucia had us do a fun prisoners challenge activity which we all enjoyed immensely. The palace was beautiful to see, and we learned so much more than we ever would have on our own. Once again, the kids beat the parents in the hunt and Lucia had prizes for them. My girls were thrilled! We ended by touring the political prison, and it was so very interesting to learn about. Lucia is an excellent guide who is very knowledgeable and great with kids and adults. I highly recommend her! If she is available, do not hesitate to book her. She handled all of the tickets and organizing and made everything so fun and stress free. Grazie for another amazing tour!"

"Roko was an excellent guide for our visit to the Doge’s Palace in Venice. He helped us navigate a huge line and made sure we got to the correct entrance quickly and smoothly. Throughout the tour, he shared so many interesting details and stories that we would have completely missed on our own. He also did a great job keeping the information engaging and age-appropriate for the kids in our group, which made the experience enjoyable for everyone. We are very glad we had him as our guide—the visit would not have been nearly as good without his knowledge and assistance."

"Roko was very knowledgeable, interesting and perfect 90min tour for children. I highly recommend. "

"Romy was a terrific guide and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She is well educated and knowledgeable with great information about all the history and culture of Venice. "

"Fiancé and myself had a great time with Daniela. Very easy to talk to and a wealth of knowledge! thank you Daniela! "

"Alessandro was great to work with both before the tour, communicating regularly, and during the tour. Alessandro showed a great knowledge of the palace and the art inside. A must do in Venice"
