Visita muy bien organizada, la guía muy correcta, muy amable. Es una visita imprescindible. También se visita la cárcel y cruzas por el puente de los suspiros. Además con la entrada del palacio puedes visitar el museo Correr de la plaza San Marco que te incluye la biblioteca Marciana y el museo arqueológico dentro del mismo edificio. Translate this opinion into English.

Very well organised visit, the guide was very correct and very kind. It is a must-see. You can also visit the prison and cross the Bridge of Sighs. In addition, with the entrance to the palace you can visit the Correr museum in Piazza San Marco which includes the Marciana library and the archaeological museum within the same building.

Demasiado caro para el tiempo que estuvimos. Nos enteramos que la entrada en la página oficial cuesta 30 € y nosotras pagamos 128 por 2 entradas con guía y al final parecía que tuviera prisa por terminar, aunque es cierto que estuvo el tiempo estipulado. Le pregunté si para el otro museo había audioguías en español y no nos supo decir, cosa rara porque la guía es italiana yal final resultó que no había.

Too expensive for the time we spent. We found out that the entrance fee on the official website was €30 and we paid €128 for 2 tickets with a guide and in the end it seemed like she was in a hurry to finish, although it is true that she stayed the stipulated time. I asked her if there were audio guides in Spanish for the other museum and she couldn't tell us, which was strange because the guide is Italian and in the end it turned out that there weren't any.

La guia Estela, tenia un gran conocimiento de toda la historia del palacio y mucho más que nos explicó de manera detallada y amena durante la visita. Fué realmente muy interesante. La única pega que le puedo encontrar es que la visita se salta las salas de armas y el piso inferior de la cárcel. Aunque lo puedes visitar tú después por tu cuenta, creo que debería estar incluido en el precio con su explicación correspondiente. Aún así, lo recomiendo. Fue muy interesante. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide, Estela, had a great knowledge of the entire history of the palace and much more, which she explained to us in a detailed and entertaining way during the visit. It was really very interesting. The only drawback I can find is that the visit skips the weapons rooms and the lower floor of the prison. Although you can visit it later on your own, I think it should be included in the price with its corresponding explanation. Still, I recommend it. It was very interesting. Opinion translated.

Realmente te presentas en la oficina de la empresa en plaza Zacarias y de alli un empleado nos llevo al Palacio Ducal donde nos esperaba nuestra guia, Estela, no habia más personas para la visita en español, asi que fue nuestra guia en exclusiva. Sabía muchisimo de la historia del Palacio. Con el mismo tiket se puede entrar en el museo Correr de la misma plaza San Marcos Totalmente recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

You actually go to the company's office in Plaza Zacarias and from there an employee took us to the Doge's Palace where our guide, Estela, was waiting for us. There were no other people available for the Spanish-speaking tour, so she was our exclusive guide. She knew a lot about the history of the Palace. With the same ticket you can enter the Correr museum in the same Plaza San Marco. Totally recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Guide parfaite rien à signaler. Le seul bémol c'est le point de rendez vous. On avait pris le point de rendez-vous au départ du campo zan zaccaria et ne voyant personnes nous nous sommes renseigné et le point de rendez-vous était au départ de la rue larga Ascencione. Manque de communication. On a faillit manquer la visite le temps de retourner à l'autre point. Translate this opinion into English.

Perfect guide, nothing to report. The only downside is the meeting point. We had taken the meeting point at the start of campo zan zaccaria and not seeing anyone we inquired and the meeting point was at the start of rue larga Ascencione. Lack of communication. We almost missed the visit while we returned to the other point. Opinion translated. Show original.

Très bon guide, il est dommage que le rendez-vous pour le départ soit très éloigné du palais des doges et difficile à trouver pour des touristes qui ne connaissent pas la ville. Le plan n’est pas clair et mal fait Il pourrait être prévu des possibilités de s’asseoir dans les salles car tous les sièges possibles sont interdits et pour certaines personnes âgées cela est difficile Translate this opinion into English.

Very good guide, it is a shame that the meeting point for departure is very far from the Doge's Palace and difficult to find for tourists who do not know the city. The plan is not clear and poorly done. Possibilities for sitting in the rooms could be provided because all possible seats are prohibited and for some elderly people this is difficult Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente tour, la guía era originaria de Venecia y se notaba enseguida que era una persona apasionada de ciudad y a la vez muy estudiada en historia e historia del arte, sin duda el haber visitado el lugar sin guía no hubiese sido la misma experiencia. No recuerdo el nombre de la guía, pero recomiendo totalmente el tour. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent tour, the guide was originally from Venice and you could immediately tell that he was a person who was passionate about the city and at the same time very studied in history and art history, without a doubt having visited the place without a guide would not have been the same experience. I don't remember the name of the guide, but I totally recommend the tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Pas de véritable échange avec le guide. Explications trop récitées. Système audio de mauvaise qualité. Tickets normalement valables pour le musée Correr pendant 30 jours et qui en fait n'est valable que le lendemain à heure fixe. Nous avons été refoulés l'après-midi même.

Les guides sont des professionnels accrédités qui s'efforcent de transmettre le contenu de la visite de manière enrichissante, tout en essayant de fournir l'organisation la plus confortable possible. Nous sommes désolés que, dans ce cas, cela n'ait pas été tout à fait à votre goût.

Estella es una guía estupenda, con mucho conocimiento de la Historia, pero la visita dejó de lado numerosas estancias y pasó muy rápido por otras. Bien es cierto que luego pudimos visitarlas por nuestra cuenta, no sin algún problema, pero ya sin ningún tipo de explicación, contexto o guía.

Estella is a great guide, with a lot of knowledge of History, but the visit left out numerous rooms and went through others very quickly. It is true that later we were able to visit them on our own, not without some problem, but without any type of explanation, context or guide.

Nuevamente hemos tenido mala experiencia porque el tour me lo cambiaron de horario y tuve que reorganizar mis actividades. Tuvimos que esperar casi media hora para que el tour empezara. El punto de reunion es absurdo por estar retirado del sitio de visita y tienen mal traducido, en instrucciones de punto de reunion dicen atras de oficina de correos y es atras de museo Correr. . No tenemos buena impresion de sus tours. No volvere a reservar con ustedes.

Once again we have had a bad experience because the tour was changed to my schedule and I had to reorganize my activities. We had to wait almost half an hour for the tour to start. The meeting point is absurd because it is removed from the visiting site and they have poor translations, in the meeting point instructions they say behind the post office and it is behind the Correr museum. . We do not have a good impression of your tours. I will not book with you again.

Nuestro equipo local nos informa que la visita inició a las 12:00, es decir, quince minutos después de lo inicialmente acordado. Por otro lado, hemos confirmado que el punto de encuentro indicado en el bono es correcto, justo en la caseta frente a la oficina de correos. Este, se encuentra a tan solo unos pocos minutos a pie del Palacio. Sentimos, aun así, que la experiencia no haya sido de tu agrado. Translate this opinion into English.

Our local team informs us that the visit began at 12:00, that is, fifteen minutes after what was initially agreed. On the other hand, we have confirmed that the meeting point indicated on the voucher is correct, right at the booth in front of the post office. This is just a few minutes walk from the Palace. We are sorry, however, that the experience has not been to your liking. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos acoplaron a otro grupo que venia de ver la Basilica de San Marcos, como ellos iban con retraso fue todo con prisa sin mucha explicación, la guia ni nos saludó, lo bueno de la visita guiada fue saltarte la cola para entrar. Añadir que al día siguiente, el 31 de mayo, hicimos la visita guiada a San Marcos con otra guía y fenomenal, así que es una lotería la guía que te toque...

They joined us with another group that had come to see the Basilica of San Marcos, since they were late, everything was in a hurry without much explanation, the guide did not even greet us, the good thing about the guided tour was jumping the line to enter. Add that the next day, on May 31, we did the guided tour of San Marcos with another guide and it was phenomenal, so the guide that gets you is a lottery...

Visite et guide parfaits. Excellent français et commentaires pertinents. Petit bémol : l'attente du guide en face de la cathédrale a semblé un peu longue (Le guide faisait visiter celle-ci à un autre groupe et a dépassé un peu l'horaire prévu). Le délai n'est rien, mais un lieu d'attente un peu à l'écart de la foule de la place St Marc aurait été plus rassurant. Translate this opinion into English.

Perfect tour and guide. Excellent French and relevant comments. Small downside: the wait for the guide in front of the cathedral seemed a bit long (the guide was showing another group around and went a little over the scheduled time). The delay is nothing, but a waiting place a little away from the crowds of St Mark's Square would have been more reassuring. Opinion translated. Show original.

Magnifique visite à Faire. La guide était parfaite dans les explications. Mais un peu chère pour 1h de visite, deuxième petit problème est le lieu de rendez vous peut être prévenir qu'il n'est pas devant le Palais des Doges mais de l'autre côté de la place St Marc Translate this opinion into English.

Magnificent visit to do. The guide was perfect in the explanations. But a bit expensive for 1 hour visit, second small problem is the meeting place can be warned that it is not in front of the Doge's Palace but on the other side of St Mark's Square Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita en sí fue espectacular, ver esos despachos y esa arquitectura increíble. El problema que veo es la falta de información porque por el precio de la guía te dan la entrada al Museo de la Plaza San Marcos, pero para gastarlo el mismo día. Si ya tenías previsto algo para después pierdes el dinero.... De ahí que la puntuación sea normal y no buena. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit itself was spectacular, seeing those offices and that incredible architecture. The problem that I see is the lack of information because for the price of the guide they give you the entrance to the Museum of Saint Mark's Square, but to spend it on the same day. If you already had something planned for later, you lose the money... Hence, the score is normal and not good. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita salió según lo planeado y pudimos aprender mucho de la mano de la guía, que fue atenta en todo momento. No obstante, desde mi punto de vista el tiempo planificado para completar el recorrido es insuficiente. Me quedé con la sensación de ir demasiado rápido de una estancia a otra y no poder prestar atención a todos los detalles que nos explicaban en cada lugar.

The visit went as planned and we were able to learn a lot from the guide, who was attentive at all times. However, from my point of view, the planned time to complete the route is insufficient. I was left with the feeling of going too quickly from one room to another and not being able to pay attention to all the details that were explained to us in each place.

Un peu dommage car les audio ne fonctionne pas bien quand il y a trop d’écart entre le guide et les derniers et le passage par le pont est un endroit où l’on peut vite son guide sinon une personne très intéressante et qui répond à toutes nos questions

A bit of a shame because the audio does not work well when there is too much of a gap between the guide and the last ones and the passage by the bridge is a place where you can quickly find your guide if not a very interesting person who responds to all our questions
