A must see if you’re in Venice! You can go at your own pace or with a guide. Beautiful ceiling murals and you learn a lot about the history of the palace

Very easy to find the travel agency to pick up our guided information. We really enjoyed the tour was on our own. I gave four stars only because we were not given headphones, but perhaps we needed to bring our own and didn’t read the fine print. Museum we did later in the afternoon when we had more time to explore.

This was a Great experience . The Doge is a must and free audio tour just bring your AirPods getting tickets in Viator easier than standing in line and go to priority entrance and walk right in no wait

It was a wonderful experience. We couldn't find our tour group so we explored on our own. That was a great decision. We were only able to explore the Doge Palace and not tthe other sights that had been included as part of guided tour, as exploring the Palace alone easily took 2.5 of the 3 hour allotted time for the tour. Self directed tour can be done by downloading the app at the Palace and listening to the audio through your phone.

Great tour! Thought it was going to be short. To fully experience make sure you give yourself an hour plus.

Easy to find office with directions. Streamlined the ticket process and saved us time at the entrance. Would recommend.

Ticket covered entrance, disappointing that there was no audio tour provided. I could have booked tickets directly from the website as well.

Doge's Palace was opulent and amazing. So easy to get in and enjoy ourselves. Viator made this do easy.

Desastre ! Noone ess waiting for us and we were obliged to buy new tickets at price 105€ it is example how tour company does not care at all !!! Shame !!!

The process to redeem the voucher for the ticket was very easy and the employees were friendly. The Doge palace was one of the most interesting and beautiful places I've ever visited. Must see!
Connor_S, Jun 2026
Absolutely amazing experience.
The one negative part was only gave myself 1 hour to go through the exhibit.
Give yourself closer to 2 hours if you really want to enjoy the palace.
Other then that absolutely perfect, and getting priority entrance was 100% necessary
Denise_N, Jun 2026
The Palace was amazing. Worth the visit. The audio login was not easy to figure out. Some people could not get on. The location of the ticket office was a little confusing if not for GPS and asking people in area for assistance.

You should know that if >65 y/o, just pay $15 @ Doge Palace & see the same amount we did. We did NOT get into the Basilica...
Carla_B, Jun 2026
It was amazing, there was so much to see! We had the option to go on our own or do whole thing with guide. We did the mandatory part with guide and then enjoyed exploring at our pace.
Curtis_B, Jun 2026
Take your time with the audio guide and soak in the experience. Do not let other people pressure you into walking fast through each room. Soak in the beautiful architecture and artwork.

NOT HAPPY!
This was a complete rip off. My daughter and I were at the meeting point that they showed in the booking with 30mins in advance. No one showed up, I tried calling the number provided and it said the number didn’t exist. We went to the palazzo reception and they couldn’t help as we never got the bar code via email as they said they would. I ended up paying again for the tickets at the main entrance.
I want a refund and have been trying to chat with them with no luck.
Still waiting to be contacted by them
