The tour was great, very interesting to see so many parts of the palace that regular ticket holders don't get to see. The only thing that wasn't clear- not that the tour should change, just the description- was that the guided portion of the tour doesn't include the public areas which are part of the regular tour. That part was self-guided.

Our guide Roseanne was excellent - please thank her. Spend longer in The Armoury as that really interest our sons. We only had about 5 minutes in there.

Very impressive complex, very informative tour. Only issues were: not very clear information with the starting point (how to get there ) and the guide from the complex spoke very softly, she was hard to hear. Some headphonea would have been great.

Guide spoke clearly in English, open to questions and did not rush the group. Explained the significance of the different chambers, the prison cells and the "secret tour" access was quite interesting. Great to have time to ourselves at the end of the tour to walk around the rest of the Doge's Palace - one could spend at least half a day there! Recommended tour.

The tour was and the tour guide were good but the attraction is over-rated as a feature in Venice.

Unfortunately the radios/Walkie talkies did not work very well. A lot of the tour is in narrow places where we had to walk single file. My husband and I ended up toward the back of the line and ended up regularly losing the signal, so we only heard about 70% of our tour. It also happened to two other people who were at the end of the line with us, so it wasn't just our units. They should either get more powerful radios or limit the tour size so that all can hear. And no, we weren't lagging far behind the rest of the group, we were just at the end. When we could hear it, the guide seemed knowledgeable and had a lot of good stories. Plus the secret passageways were fun to see and explore!

It is interesting, but I'm not sure we would in retrospect spend the morning learning about medieval torture. Guide was wonderful.

We were able to see things which were not available on the normal tickets. We did not wait long for our guide and her English was excellent. She kept us engaged with interesting facts and history.

Where do these reviews come from?
About two weeks after you have used your tickets we send an email asking you for your feedback on tickitaly.com and on the individual attractions that you visited. We ask our customers to give us and our tickets a rating out of five stars and to write a short review - all of these reviews come from people that have bought tickets from us.
Why are there more stars awarded than reviews?
Many of our customers opt to award stars rather than write a review.
Why do some reviews have a ? instead of stars?
Some reviewers opt to write a comment but don't enter a star entry. These are sometimes positive and sometimes negative - we include these reviews in the listings after the starred reviews, but we don't include them in the overall ratings.
Where is my review? I can't see anything in the list?
Each review is checked by our staff in order to avoid posting inappropriate content or personal details, and to see if the customer has had a specific problem that needs to be addressed. In most cases these reviews go online with their star rating and any comment that has been made. In the cases that there is an issue that we have to address, such as refunds or specific complaints, we flag the review for response. In those few cases, any star rating is immediately taken into account in our ratings but the actual review is only posted once we have resolved the issue or had an opportunity to respond. Any editorial comment will be clearly highlighted like this: [Tickitaly responds: .....].
Are these reviews real or have you faked them?
All of the reviews and star ratings have come from people that have purchased tickets from us. We are very proud of the service and products that we provide, but obviously we aren't perfect and sometimes things go wrong. Once we have addressed any problems that a customer has had, we will process the original review (although we reserve the right to fix minor typos like ticketitaly).
If a review contains offensive language, abuse or personal insults, we'll publish the stars but omit the text.
