★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 441 reviews · from $106

Go behind the scenes in Venice with skip-the-line access to Doge’s Palace prisons, archives, and Casanova, then visit Ca’Rezzonico.

“Loved the walking earphone piece so that we could hear the guide in larger crowds. Our guide was so knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our tour with her. We chose to go in the early morning (8:45am) and we are so glad we did. We avoided crowds for most of the trip and the heat was more bearable. However, there are many rooms inside the palace and prison without AC - BRING A CHARGEABLE/BATTERY-POWERED HANDFAN AND WATER. This was a game changer for me and allowed me to focus on the tour more than the heat!”
