“Sabrina was our guide and very knowledgeable and made this tour great”
Skip the line to Doge’s Palace with a guidebook, museum access, Bridge of Sighs prisons, and a VR trip through St Mark’s Square.
“Once we had collected the tickets it was a fantastic experience. Ticket collection point was tricker than expected. Once in the rooms in the palace are spectacular!”
Timed-entry guided tour of St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace, plus Correr Museum access. Small group, expert guide, about 3.5 hours.
“Sarah provided great insight on Doge and the Basilica in an engaging way. While there is no doubt you could spend a lot more time exploring both sites, in under 3 hours I felt I walked away with a lot of information. I would recommend this.”
Skip the line to St Mark’s Bell Tower (98m) for panoramic views, then History Gallery and VR scenes of Venice.
“This is not something I would recommend. Buy the tickets to the Bell tower experience on the website and enjoy at your own pace. The VR experience was really silly and poor. I feel like you could find a five minute history of Venice, YouTube video and save yourself the exorbitant fees. Not worth it…”
Skip the line for St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace with priority entry plus optional audio guide or live guide, in about 2.5 hours.
“Excellent experience with good information on Audio Guide. Audio guide for St Mark's Basilica could be split up more.”
Venice Museum Pass for 180 days: Doge’s Palace, Correr Museum and more, with a 16-church Chorus Pass.
“Murano and Burano were my favourite part of the trip. Museums were smaller venues. A bit of chore to get to the islands. Kinda fun riding the vaporetto... but it was way to busy. Standing room only. Doges Palace was alright. Not so busy. I didn't get a guide and probably would have got more…”

Visit Venice Natural History Museum on the Grand Canal: fossils, dinosaurs, a Sarchosuchus skull, and a huge cabinet of objects for $11.
“Great staff. Great experience. Very interesting looking at things! It would have been nice for the information to be in English too but, of course, I respect that I am in an Italian city and there is no right for the museum to do so!”
Entry ticket to Murano’s Glass Museum. Explore a top collection of Murano glass at your pace, with an optional transport ticket.
“Top à faire!”
The basilica, the islands, the canals and the table, and every way to see them.
