Being inside the palace was awesome
Finding Headouts office beforehand was a bit challenging and I recommend giving yourself plenty of time before the tour. Skipping the line with our guide was brilliant. Whilst the tour was called "mysteries and secrets" it was really just a history... not many secrets revealed.

Our guide provided a detailed account of the political significance of the Palazzo Ducale, and its history. We were then able to wander through the rooms of state and the prisons at our leisure. Directions to the meeting place were easy to follow and our guide spoke very good English.

Our tour guide was excellent, she was very knowledgeable and passionate about Venice and this came across during our tour. I would highly recommend this tour and highly recommend our guide.

There were four of us and we were informed about everything worth knowing (in German) by an Italian expert on the Doge's Palace. She had the kindness and time to answer our questions. I was particularly touched by the Bridge of Sighs, which separates and connects splendor and misery.

Instructions as to where to meet were accurate (unlike other tour operators!) . Everything was clearly explained. We had a great guide who gave us all the history, dates and some historical gossip. It was informative without being boring and just the right length at an hour. Def recommend

The tour was perfectly organized, meeting point instructions and procedure very good explained. The highlight was our very experienced guide, who took the extra time and interest to explain more than was asked of her and, although very knowlegeable, gave us all necessary information telling it like a beutiful story. Thanks, Carlotta!

I learned so much about the history-it's a beautiful place, but also there was a dark side with the prison.

The guide Paula was good & caring
My disappointment was that I thought I was booking the "Doge's Palace Secret Itineraries tour"but actually your Tour company 's title for the tour was "Doge's Palace Guided Tour - Mysteries and Secrets English Guided Tour".
There was nothing 'secret' about the tour it went to all the conventional tourist areas.
When I went back to your offices after the tour to query the lack of 'Attic tour, Bonaparte ballroom, etc' your representative advised me that the 'Secret Itineraries tour' is only available direct from the Doge's Palace.
Tough luck.
I agree I should have reviewed the tour details more closely but I feel that your company by naming the tour as you have is trying to pick up on tourists to Venice like myself who do an online search and expect truth in advertising.
I am disappointed with your company.
I would also like to mention as a warning to other tourists in the area - that there were 2 well dressed young Asian lady pickpockets who almost stole my wallet from my bag just prior to my arriving at your Office.
The walkway was not crowded so I was able to hear them undo the zip on my backpack, luckily.
My warning is a general one and is not a reflection on your Company.

Our guide was very personable, knowledgeable and interacted well with the group. She made the experience more enjoyable by moving our tour to areas in rooms providing the best views. Overall she was excellent.

The best thing about the tour was Elisabeth, our tour guide. Very knowledgeable, she rounded off her knowledge with humorous interludes and conducted the tour in a very pleasant manner. Thank you very much!

The guide was fantastic and the tour itself very worthwhile - we got a lot more out of the experience than we would have if we just walked around on our own.

A must go place to visit in Venice. The history, culture and civilisation of this place is amazing. One can just imagine the amount of trade that was happening during that time.
Max our guide was very knowledgeable. Ask and he will answer.
Don't miss it
