Amazing guided tour inside the Venice Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale): the old residence of the Doge. The guide will escort you along the halls of power to admire the breathtaking artworks such as the Golden Staircase, the parliament, and many paintings of Tiepolo, Tintoretto, and many other amazing masterpieces.
The entrance is skip-the-line and so you’ll avoid the endless queue in front of the Palace.
For an exclusive experience, choose the private option: enjoy a personal guided tour.

Beautiful palace to visit with lots of history. Interesting collection of weapons and impressive passage through the Bridge of Sighs.

UPDATE: 2 months later, I have still not received a complete refund for my tour tickets, and while the company commented that they are here if I have any questions, there is no email contact listed to contact them.
Venice Tours SRL, if you are truly available for further questions, please provide a way an international customer can reach you!
Original Review copied below:
We showed up at the tour location and was told after the tour start time that our tour guide would not be showing up. They would not give me a refund on the spot and said I had to go through trip advisor, sent me on my way without a tour guide while keeping the palace tickets.
When I made this request, they only refunded THIRTY PERCENT OF MY TICKET!!! I paid $290 for 5 ppl and they refunded $87. Their justification is that we still got our tickets to the palace. Well, palace tickets alone are 30 dollars each on the palace site. Let’s do some quick math:
$290 total cost for 5 ppl on tour
$30 X 5 palace tickets: $150
Actual refund received: $87
This means that the tour group held on to an additional $63 from my pocket. Team, I am patiently waiting for my remaining $63. If you can provide documentation justifying this paltry refund, I will take my review down.

Valentina was an excellent, engaging tour guide. The Doge’s Palace is enormous- you could probably spend half a day there but this tour really focused on the highlights.

I thought this tour was fascinating. It addition to seeing the architecture and the art, the really great thing was hearing about the government structure of the doge. I learned a lot.

Our guide Gloria was excellent. She knew the Doge’s Palace inside out. She also had a deep understanding and knowledge of Italian, Venetian and European history so really brought to life what was happening at any given time and why. Excellent Guide and Great tour! Highly recommend.

The experience, our guide, Carolina, was excellent! She explained in detail and her peaceful and calm demeanor was very soothing. The palaces were nothing short of impressive.

We had a great tour with our guide Valentina of Doge's Palace and the surrounding area. At the time of our tour start, other guests decided not to join us and we therefore ended up having a private tour. She was very knowledgeable, answered any questions we had and adjusted based on our pace and interest. Highly recommend Valentina & this tour!

The tour guide was very informational and helpful but I feel more time was needed and it was a bit rushed. Didn't get to see everything.
