Reviews

Great tour with Christina!

sfball1, 04-05-2022

We booked our tour with Avventure Bellissime and it was very good. Christina was very knowledgeable with an easy-going approach - a visit to the Doge Palace that was loaded with information but unhurried and relaxed.

Great Short Tour

This was a great short tour of Doge's palace! We got a lot of information on the political, art and architectural history of Venice while we toured the palace. We really liked having a small group tour!

Great tour by a knowledgeable guide

PHILT280, 12-10-2019

We went on the Doge's Palace tour with the Roman Guy and it was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The guide was considerate when we fell behind a few times she slowed to tour so we could catch-up..

Excellent tour with an excellent guide.
I had toured before but learned so much more this time.
Would highly recommend this tour.

Not exactly what I was expecting

AngelaE04, 03-12-2019

The tour of Doge's Palace seemed to focus more on the art within the Palace. I was hoping to learn a little more about the history.
