Itinerary

1
Basilica di San Marco
1 hr 30 min - We provide the skip the line tickets, so walk right past the long queue and go right on inside. During November through March, St. Mark’s Basilica does not offer skip the line entry because lines are generally non-existent.
2
Doge's Palace
1 hr 30 min - As you explore the Doge’s Palace, you’ll hear about the wild ways of the Venetian Republic under the rule of elected magistrates. This tour not only showcases the interior of this ornate palace, but also goes in depth about the crime and legal system that was once in place in the city of Venice. Admire classic works of Venetian art and visit Doge’s Palace’s main sights, such as the Grand Staircase and the Bridge of Sighs. You'll even get to see some of the prison cells that were functional during the time of the Venetian Republic.

Great tour with Christina!

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

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..

Not exactly what I was expecting

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.
