This exclusive tour, limited to just 20 people at a time, takes you through secret prisons, archives, offices, and even a torture chamber within the Palazzo Ducale, unveiling a darker side of history.
The Doge's Palace is undoubtedly the most intriguing building in Venice for those with an interest in art, history, literature, or scandal. As the home to the world's oldest republic, it serves as a treasure trove of secrets and artworks, providing a detailed insight into life in the Republic of Venice. Accompanied by your guide, you'll bypass the queues and head straight for the palace's hidden areas. A special door, opened by a guard, leads you into the concealed parts of the palace. Here, you'll see the prison cell where Casanova was held and hear the fascinating tale of his escape. You'll also visit the archives to learn how secrets were safeguarded and hidden council rooms.
The tour also includes access to grand audience rooms, ballrooms adorned with exquisite paintings by Veronese and Tintoretto, and the private apartments of the Duke of Venice. Your VIP experience continues with crossing the famed Bridge of Sighs to explore the New Prisons.
Your last highlight, a guided tour of Venice's most important church, St. Mark's Basilica. Admire the east-meets-west architecture and hear how most of the basilica's prized possessions ended up here by less than honest means.
