Great time of year to visit as the crowds were minimal. Self guide audio tour was good but a bit too detailed for my teens. Very interesting and many spaces have a real wow factor. Definitely need to download the guide to your phone before arriving and remember to bring your own headphones.

Seamless and smooth experience. And the audio tour was also very informative and interesting. The main entrance could be labeled a little more clear.

The "skip the line" option is a must have. Access is quick and the combined ticket will offer you a long visit, as all the obectives are in one place (San Marco square). The palace is beautiful and so are the connected museums. Besides the price was better than on the official website :)

I think it's a great place, perfectly maintained and with attention to detail that allows you to experience an exceptional view. The only somewhat jarring note is the non-reduced ticket for children over 6 years old. For a family, visiting everything becomes very financially demanding and it is a shame to leave something out.
