Overview

Our Doge's Palace tour offers a deeper look into Venice’s history. Led by expert guides, you'll explore key rooms and stories that shaped the Republic, from political decisions to daily life behind the palace walls. During the visit, you will cross the iconic Bridge of Sighs, just as Casanova once did when he made his daring escape from the dark and wet prisons of the Doge's Palace.

If you're looking to elevate your visit with a truly exclusive experience, the Secret Itineraries of the Doge’s Palace reveal the hidden side of Venetian power. This special tour goes beyond the public halls, uncovering restricted areas where covert trials and political intrigue unfolded. Explore private offices, secret archives, and chilling spaces like the Chamber of Torture and the cramped Pozzi cells. Perfect for history lovers and curious minds, the Secret Itineraries offer a rare, immersive glimpse into the shadowy heart of the Venetian Republic.
