Doge's Palace: Priority Entrance (Exclusive Refundable Ticket)

Definitely visit if you are in Venice

Must see - an impressive structure in the history of Venice. You should definitely visit if you are visiting this beautiful city. Booking tickets in advance is highly recommended; an earlier time also has the advantage that there are not yet so many visitors in the building. The visitor should plan for at least two hours. The audio tour via app is very good; headphones for your own phone are a good idea. Pick-up is right around the corner from the Doge's Palace, very friendly and fast.

2-hour Venice guided tour

Very beautiful tour and Rocco was a more than necessary guide for this weekend in Venice. These 2 hours were rich in information about the city, all of this distilled with humor by Rocco with a good level of French. Going to Venice without having a guided tour is like going fishing and saying you didn't see anything.

St Mark's Basilica & Doge's Palace with Secret Passages Access

Great smaller group tour...

Great smaller group tour - about 3+ hours. Recommend if only to avoid the bigger tour groups in the public area. The secret passages cover the dungeons, Cassanova’s cell, Armory, Archive room, bridge of Sighs, and secret courtrooms of the Doge council of 10 with an interesting torture rope-pulley in one of the court rooms in case you need convincing! 2nd half of the tour - we did the 9:15 (which I recommend doing early to avoid the largest of the crowds) was the public galleries which featured over the top Venetian paintings and gold leaf ceilings - must have been the inspiration for Versailles! Our tour guide Nicco was excellent, personable, and quite knowledgeable with all the paint symbolism. The tour concluded with the Basilica about 30 minutes - which was magnificent (you can stay longer if you have time after the formal tour) - was even better - broadly one of the best preserved Byzantine style churches - which after seeing Hagia Sophia on the same trip helped fill in the visual of what that site would have looked like before its mosque conversion by the Ottomans. You could honestly stare at the gold leave and mosaic images on the walls for hours and not be bored - just floored!

Lords of the Night Prisons Palace: Cells & Torture Tools Visit

A different view of Venician history

This was a great tour. Very macabre, thought provoking, sickening at times. Reminisce about the times when you could be accused of a crime by a neighbour and tortured without trial. This tour goes inside the prison next to the palace and next to the bridge of sighs, showing the cells prisoners were kept in and some of the original devices to torture to gain confessions from the guilty and the innocent.

St. Mark's Basilica: Golden Cathedral Priority Visit (Refundable)

Great little tour!

This is a great tour of the basilica. It starts by the newsstand and we were given an audio earpiece. Our guide walked us through Piazza San Marco and then straight into the basilica. She talked about the mosaics and the marble and explained lots of information about this incredible place. The tour lasted around 40 minutes which was great. We then paid a small amount more to go into the museum and to go to the terrace outside which has spectacular views. Thoroughly enjoyable. The basilica is quite dimly lit, but she said that if you are there at 11:30am they light the inside up for an hour. This would be incredible but we weren’t able to do this as we were there earlier.
