Doge's Palace "Secret" Tour

I am trying to book the tour and don't understand the pricing. Can someone please explain for me. It will be me and my husband and neither of us qualifies for any special rates. Can we get this?
RID.FAMIGLIA Reduced ticket for family pack (family pack is composed by 1 full ticket and all the other reduced minimum 2 tickets)

To me, that seems like they're saying you have to buy at least two reduced tickets. So then for your husband and you, you would not qualify for it. I have not been on the website though, cannot say how the pricing works. I have been on the tour (last May) and it was great! Definitely worth any hassle you're going through trying to buy the tickets.

We did this tour in April. It was great. I went on the Venice website and found a link. We were 3 adults and booked the family pass. I think you're right, you need more than 2. Find out where you have to go ahead of time as the entrance is a bit confusing. You basically bypass the people waiting in line for the regular tour. Once inside there is an office to your left. It is up a couple of steps and then through a door.
There is also a skip the line entrance to St.Mark's. It costs 1 euro each. You pay online, pick a time, show up and walk right in. We picked the first time offered and were in the church by ourselves for the first 5 minutes.
