Doge’s Palace/ St Mark’s with Rita

Rita was awesome! She provided such a great tour, pointing out many hidden details and brining us into St Mark’s at just the right time to catch the lights on allowing us to see such a beautiful place. She is a gem, highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Heather_D, May 2026

Change in meeting point...

Change in meeting point was understandable but confusing because we got one message that gave new spot but reminders afterwards saying the old spot. Otherwise, the tour was great. Frankie was friendly and knowledgeable and we had just enough time to explore in each spot before moving on.

Must do!!! Better than expected!!

Susan was very knowledgeable and got us in the door before anyone else! Better tour than we even expected. She spoke very good English and was easy to understand. The tour went through the palace, over the Bridge of Sighs, into the cells, through St Mark’s Basilica and ended on the roof with wonderful views of the Square!!! Highly recommend!!!

An Amazing Tour with Matteo! 🇮🇹

Matteo was incredible! He was personable, fun, and so knowledgeable about the city. He made us all feel comfortable right away and took the time to really get to know us, which made the experience even better. Be prepared for lots of walking, but it’s absolutely worth it — you get to see and experience so much!

Best Of Venice: Saint Mark's Basilica, Doges Palace with Guide and Gondola Ride

Martin_C, May 2026

Most of the time was...

Most of the time was spent in Doges Palace, which with the size and number of rooms, was great. Long lines to toilets, as there are only a couple of them, so bladder control is a must! Mark's Basilica was very interesting. The gondola ride was not promised due to the rain, but did happen anyway. Our Guide informed us that the portion of the tour dedicated to the gondola would be refunded if they canceled it, which was fair.

Perfect way to see Venice!

We had such an amazing time on our Venice food tour with Martina! She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so much fun. Every single thing we ate was absolutely delicious, especially the meats and cheeses — some of the best we’ve ever had. And of course, the wine selections were incredible as well! The highlight for us though was definitely the gelato. It was so good that we kept going back even after the tour ended! This was such a fun and memorable way to experience Venice, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting.

St Mark's, Doge's Palace, with Murano and Burano & Gondola Ride

Janet_M, May 2026

Don't miss this tour..

This tour was in 2 parts. In the morning, we met our wonderful guide, Roberta, and we did Doge's Palace. The history was amazing, and Roberta was really knowledgeable. After that we toured St. Mark's Bacillica. Absolutely gorgeous. One of the pluses of having the guides is th ability to skip the lines. We finished the morning with a gondola ride. We had an hour or so after that to grab a refreshment before meeting lovely tour guide, Cecilia, for the second part of the day. We went to Murano and Burano. While in Murano, we watched a glass blowing demonstration, and explored a bit. Very laid back atmosphere. Burano was such a pretty little place. We had lots of time to explore the shops and restaurants. Again, very laid back. Our guide Cecilia was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and so absolutely sweet.

Ashley_C, Apr 2026

Very comprehensive tour!

This was a very comprehensive tour of the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. Our tour guide Natalia had so much information about the history of Venice and the palace/Basilica and we enjoyed all the details she gave about the art in the palace. We definitely got in ahead of many crowds, so that alone was with the ticket price. We also got admission to the Correr Museum, which was really fascinating and had great art/history about Venice. For a two hour tour, we did so much!
