FAQ's

Is this tour private?

Yes, it is. No one else will be joining your private tour, and you will have your own private guide throughout the visit. However, there will be other people visiting the Doge’s Palace at the same time.

When is the best time to visit the Doge’s Palace?

During the summer season and special holidays, there is no best time, as the Doge’s Palace is always very crowded. But the skip-the-line tickets will avoid any long waits in line to enter the Doge’s Palace. The crowds are less in the winter months.

Are the parents staying with the children or separated?

We always promote a family-bonding moment, where parents and children enjoy an activity together as a family. So, parents and children will not be separated. However, if you choose to send your children on this activity alone, it is possible, provided that a babysitter accompanies the children regardless of the age, for insurance purposes (our guides are not responsible for the children).

Will we have to wait in line?

We provide skip-the-line tickets, but on very busy days, there might be some waiting (security checks). Our guides will do their best to try to avoid these lines.

Can I bring a stroller or a wheelchair?

There are a lot of stairs and small corridors in the secret part of the Doge’s Palace so it is not recommended for strollers or wheelchairs.

Will my teenage kids like the tour?

Sure they will. They might not want to have the game booklet, but since it is a private tour, our professional guide will adapt their speech to keep your teenagers engaged and entertained throughout the tour.
