Very good information on the history of the palace and of Venice in general. Going later in the day was good because it was less busy.

The tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgable and found places for my disabled husband to sit throughout the tour. The palace has a lot of history.

Disappointed that the tour guide did not call, email, or text to see where we were as we were running 15 minutes late due to lack of info as to meeting site. Missed the tour and still no follow up.

It was amazing the knowledge shown by our guide was incredible. The palace was fabulous, the tour was a little rushed, as my husband did not have the time he wanted to look at everything, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend as a must see/do.

The guide was informative and fun. Thought there would be a bit more to the torture room than just using your imagination.

The start location was easy to find. The guide was kind and knowledgeable. It felt a little bit rushed at the end but we were able to go back and explore.
