Overview

This tour will take you into the heart of Venice and its symbol: the Doge's Palace
The tour is divided into two parts and it will take us to discover the places and history of the Venice of the Doges.

Your guide will take you to discover the hidden corners and let you learn interesting facts about life in a city of water, as well as about Venice's past.
Once left the most crowded streets (called "calli"), we will enjoy the peace of a more hidden Venice.
In the second part of the tour, you will visit the Doge’s Palace and the halls of power, immersing yourself in medieval Europe among the stuccoed halls and hundreds of masterpieces.
