Amazing experience
rodrigomE4158BG, Apr 2026
Amazing experience! The guided tour of the Doge’s Palace was really interesting, and walking through the prisons and the Bridge of Sighs made it even more special. The gondola ride at the end was the perfect Venetian touch. Highly recommended!

We weren’t totally sure at first, but it ended up being a really nice experience. The palace is impressive, and the gondola ride, even if it’s short, is something you shouldn’t miss in Venice. Happy we booked it.
