Venice Travel Forum

I've heard booking in advance is a must to guarantee the tour. How is this done?

You can do it via this link : http://www.tickitaly.com/tickets/doge-palace-tickets.php

However, booking is mandotory only for the secret itineraries, that i higly recomend:
from the website:
Secret itineraries
The tours are all with a specialised guide, for a minimun of 2 people and maximum of 25; they start at fixed time according to the following schedule; (English 9.55, 10.45, 11.35)
after 1pm tour can be arranged at various times, with an additional paymente of 31 Euros for group (suspended from 1st July to 31 August).

Full price euro 16

I certainly agree that the Secret Itinerary tour is just outstanding. My husband and I took this tour and were fascinated by the history, the secret rooms, and the enthusiasm shown by the tour guide. The great thing about this tour is that it takes you into rooms and spaces that the regular trip omits.
