Doge's Palace - Secret Itineraries Tour or the Hidden Doge's Treasure Tour

Hello aimeesoo,

I did the Secret Itineraries Tour last September. I starts in the dungeon and works its way up through the offices, rooms of state and up to the torture chamber and upper cells - including Casanova's. After that they re-inject you into the regular Dodge's rooms and displays. The tour touches on some of the politics and court systems of the time including how controlled a life the Dodge actually lived and was interesting even if it didn't really delve into how macabre the whole thing had become.

I haven't done the Hidden Doge's Treasure Tour but it sounds much more about decorations and opulence so they sound very different. So I guess it depends on which element you find more interesting.

Enjoy Venice, it's a magical city,

I took the Secret Itieraries tour several years ago and loved it. It was fun to see where Casanova was kept a prisioner and contrast it with the regular cells. What I remember the most is being up in the attic. It was huge. I would definitely recommend this tour although I am sure you'd like the other one two. You probably can't make a bad choice.

Husband and MIL did the Secret Itinerary tour and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I just booked for us the Exclusive Alone In St Mark's & Doge's Palace Tour in October with Walks of Italy. It advertises itself as after-closing tours of the two locations, including some behind-the-scenes sections and some time in the piazza. It's a bit more, as you can imagine, but it looks like we'll be able to get some up-close looks at portions that would otherwise be either inaccessible or too crowded during the day.
