Combo of Political History & Art - It is a good combination of political history and art history. Our guide was a local Venetian. She was informative and funny. Doge Palace is big. You walk, stand and climb a lot of stairs.

Great tour of The Doge's palace. - Our guide was excellent and had great information. Very good tour to a very interesting place. It was a lot of walking and a lot of stairs, so people with mobility issues should really consider whether or not this tour would be appropriate for them.

The guide could not speak... - The guide could not speak English well. Could not understand her. She spoke very fast and a few guests left the tour. They told her that she was speaking too fast but the real issue is not knowing English.
