This tour of the Doge's Palace was guided by an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide. She was from a Venetian family and provided great background on Venice and its political history, with a very engaging presentation. Highlights included seeing the bridge of sighs and the prison. My boys (ages 13 and 10) and I found the tour to be very interesting, education and worthwhile.

The tour was so informative without being boring. The tour guide was also pretty funny, and it didn't hurt that he looked like Leonard DiCaprio. :)
