Doges' Palace delight! - We booked our tour through Viator (Venice Tours). After a confusing start we met our guide Gloria who was absolutely fantastic. She had great knowledge and took the time to tell us all about the history of the Doges' Palace. We were able to take plenty of photos and we didn't feel rushed. We came away feeling very happy and thought the tour was fantastic value for money.

Easy access to the Palace - Got straight in even being 20 min early - easy breezy. The link for the audio app was difficult to use. Ended up paying 5 euro to use the palace's audio. Had the same problem at St. Mark's.

Fun, organized, and smooth - Doges Palace is beyond amazing with so much history and beautiful architecture. Pick up for the tickets was quick and easy with the help of the people at the business. Downloading the app and audio was a bit of a struggle due to lack of quality phone service, however the experience was great.

Only value is skip the line - So. When we were there. No line. But if there was a line would have been value. The audio tour had only about 1/3 of all the stops in the museum. Pay the $5 at the door and get the full tour. Wouldn't pay for this again.

Poor - The audio guides didn’t work because of poor network connection in the palace and the fact that the app needed to be downloaded. We could have done this in the hotel had we been told the name of the app and log in details in advance. The ticket wasn’t emailed to us and we had to go to another office to collect them which made the point of no queuing a little redundant.

Shorted the experience - Since my paid for audio did not work, I was able to look at walls and wood work yet had zero understanding of ANYTHING of what I was looking at OR WHERE I WAS IN THE BUILDING! Without the audio, I give The tour a 1/10

Scam - Total scam. There’s no audio guide. They give you a QR code to download an existing “love Venice” app which does not work anywhere in Doge’s palace (and has the app review score of 1)
