Captivating palace and prison tour
Wonderful private tour experience led by Georgia. Her personable approach coupled with a strong knowledge of Venezia’s history led to a perfect interactive two hour tour
Good tour
Very nice and informative guide.
Super Engaging Tour of the Doge's Palace
This was a fabulous tour of the Doge's Palace - interesting and engaging the entire time. Our tour guide, Edy, was extremely dynamic and pointed out interesting details about the Palace, the history of Venice, and other facts in a way that kept our rapt attention (including the attention of our 8 and 11 year old, who both loved the guide as well). She is a story-teller and is able to relay the history in a way that made it easy to follow and exciting. This is a must-see site in Venice that was made even better by our fabulous guide - highly recommend!
Terrific Doge Palace and Prison Tour!
Cristina was so knowledgeable and chose such interesting information and stories to share. There was no question (about the Doge Palace or Venice in general) that she couldn’t answer. Excellent tour, loved every minute.
The Doges and Venice
This was a very informative tour. Our guide Georgina was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. She did a wonderful job explaining the diverse history of Venice, including the art and architecture.
