A great tour to appreciate and understand the importance of the Doges in the establishment and development of Venice

Elena was excellent - a local Venetian, she had an abundance of knowledge and interesting stories about the Doge's, the people during that period (ie Casanova), and the historical, art, and social wisdom that she shared with energy and passion.

The tour was very well coordinated, seemless from start to finish. Virginia, our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was not rushed and Virginia was always conscious that everyone in the group had an opportunity to observe all the tour had to offer and ask questions. Would highly recommend Virginia for the tour of Doge's Palace.

Tour opens with the tiniest, dark, damp, concrete cells that housed multiple inmates each in the 16th century. We used the back staircases to see the inner workings of prison and the entire judicial bureaucracy. We had free access to walk into Casanova’s cell. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and well spoken. This is one of the best tours I have ever taken.

Absolutely the best tour in Venezia! Access to the normally closed off areas and the guide's stories were amazing... if you have to choose one tour, don't miss this one!
