Very Engaging and Worthwhile!

John_M, Jun 2023

This tour of the Doge's Palace was guided by an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide. She was from a Venetian family and provided great background on Venice and its political history, with a very engaging presentation. Highlights included seeing the bridge of sighs and the prison. My boys (ages 13 and 10) and I found the tour to be very interesting, education and worthwhile.
