Doge's Palace Tour with Skip the Line
- Duration: 75 Minutes (approx.)
- Location: Venice
- Product code: CF-DOG
Great for history buffs who want an in-depth (and partially independent) exploration of the Doge’s Palace, this tour allows access to both the palace’s most spectacular public areas—like the fresco-lined council halls and salons where senators once gathered—and also its most secret passageways chambers, including prison cells and rooms where criminal inquisitions were held. Accompanying you for part of the tour will be an expert, English-speaking guide whose knowledge illuminates the history and significance behind the palace; there will also be ample time during which you may explore on your own.
