Tour Venice’s Doge’s Palace, Bridge of Sighs, and Casanova’s prison with skip-the-line entry and a guide in 75 minutes.

“Denise was a wonderful guide. A local Venetian with family that goes back generations, she provided interesting information not only about the Doge’s Palace but also about Venice and Venetian history. And she did so in a humorous manner that did not come across as memorized or canned - a refreshing change from other guides we’ve had in the past. If you’ve never toured the palace or it’s your first time in Venice, I highly recommend this tour. So much interesting history and amazing art located within the walls. Not to mention the experience of walking the same path as so many poor souls who crossed the Bridge of Sighs…”

Then a tour associate rushed us on a 5 minute walk to try and catch our group. When we got to St Marks our tour group had already entered the Basilica. Then we were denied access to St…”
