Doge's Palace Secret Passges Tour with Correr Museum

No, the Doges secret itinerary tour goes to rooms and places where the general Doge's Palace ticket does not.
But you will have access to the rest of the Doge's Palace on your own afterwards

So with the combined Correr Museum/Doge's Palace ticket, you will NOT see the rooms fo the secret itinerary tour.

Think of the Secret itinerary tour as a totally separate tour, which it is.

Thank you very much for the reply. So if one wanted to go to the Correr but NOT the Doge Palace they'd still pay the same fee, yes? There's no separate ticket for just the Correr? (I acknowledge that the Secret tour is completely separate).

There is no point buying the combined ticket (which admits one to all the museums run by the Commune, including Correr, glass museum, lace museum, Doges Palace, and others) if you are doing the Secret Itin. tour.

Buy the ticket to the Correr. It is a separate ticket.
Buy the Secret Itin. ticket, as that ticket includes admission to the Doges palace.

Your response is much appreciated, Aussie, but that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out. There doesn't seem to be a ticket only for the Correr, at least not on their official online website. So bizarre!

You may also want to visit the clock tower as well https://torreorologio.visitmuve.it/en/pianifica-la-tua-visita/tickets/
I admit that that is not much to see inside the clock tower but you could take some good pictures of the church and the square from the roof top.

If you want to take the Orlogio/Clock Tower tour (not included on the San Marco Como ticket), that ticket also includes entry to the Correr Museum. See p. 64 of RS Italy and/or https://torreorologio.visitmuve.it/en/pianifica-la-tua-visita/tickets/. My colleague recommends this tour as very interesting.

The Correr may have a separate, cheaper entrance fee of its own, but it's not mentioned online or in Rick's book.

P.S. Cross-posting with above while I talked to my colleague.

Thanks very much, samuelito and Laura.

There is never much of a line for the Correr, a handful of minutes max. You can buy your Correr ticket any time you are going past, as the ticket is not timed. One could buy the ticket today at the ticket desk and use it a month later.
There is no advantage really in buying it on line.

The SI tour begins and ends inside the Palace. Therefore the price is inclusive. If you buy the combo ticket, you must book the SI tour separately, but you pay only the difference between the regular entry fee and the inclusive price with the SI tour, which is the reduced price of €15. You do not need to have the combo ticket to buy the SI reduced price ticket. You must have it when you pick up the SI tickets on the day of the tour (it's a separate line from the general admission line). If you buy the combo ticket online through the Palace, you pick it up at the same time as the SI tour.

Note that there are TWO tours at the Palace, the Secret Itineraries Tour and the Hidden Treasure Tour.

You may enter the Palace any time before the tour (just be at the meeting point a few minutes before tour time) and stay as long as you like after the tour.

THANK YOU very much, Chani! I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed response.

It's good to know I can go through the Doge's Palace before the tour, you can't always do that in many Italian museums (you often can go through AFTER a tour, but not before which can mess up one's itinerary if the tour is late in the day, etc.). So yay! :-)

Wait a second...Aussie I just noticed your second reply, "Buy the ticket to the Correr. It is a separate ticket." That's what I wanted to know, thank you so much! I've heard that they USED to have "Correr only" ticketts but now you can only get the Correr/Doge combo tickets which didn't make sense for me since I'll already have been through the Doge.

So thanks again for replying! Much appreciated.

Various folk on the Tripadvisor Venice forum are saying that a Correr only ticket is now not available, and that the combination ticket at about 20 euro is the only option.

So my advice above i.e. just buy the ticket at the Correr for the Correr, may well be totally wrong.

In which case, apologies.

Even if it is available, it could well be just about the difference in price between the Doge ticket and the combo ticket. Even if you lose a few €, isn't it worth it to have it already? The risk you take is that you now buy the Doge ticket and then get to the Correr and find that there are no individual tickets sold anymore. If I remember correctly, the Correr and the Nat'l Arch. Museum are combined galleries and one ticket gets you into both.

My guess is that the individual prices of the Doge and the Correr together are about the same as the combo price - otherwise no one would buy it.

We were wondering the same thing for our trip in September 2018 and there was not a separate ticket for the Correr Museum available at that time. We did Secret Itineraries tour and the clock tower tour. The clock tower tour included Correr ticket that had to be used the same day. We all really liked the clock tower tour so, as mentioned above, you could go that route.

Thank you again, everyone, for the replies. I found out that it’s not just the St. Mark’s Square Pass that decreases the price of the Secret Itineraries tour, but the Museum Pass does as well. The former pass is exclusive to those museums in the Square (hence the name) which didn’t interest me, but the latter includes civic museums such as the Ca’Rezzonico. Even though the Museum Pass costs more than the St Mark’s Pass, it’s worth it if you are taking the Secret Itineraries tour but also interested in the Correr and even only one of the museums listed on the Museum Pass (which seem to cost between 5 and 14 euros).

Here’s the breakdown: Correr tickets are 26 euros, the Secret Itineraries tour is 29 euros, Ca’Rezzonico is 11 euros which comes to 66 euros total, but if you buy the museum pass for 36 euros (which includes the Correr and the Ca’Rezzonico), the Secret Itineraries tour is only 16 euros which totals 52 euros, a savings of 14 euros. If the one museum you choose to see is the least expensive, 5 euros, you still get a savings of 8 euros (which may or may not be worth making the commitment of buying the pass online).

When you buy the Secret Itineraries tour ticket through the official website (https://palazzoducale.visitmuve.it/en/home/).
check the “Pass” part of the list to get the discounted price—this will make sense when you’re on the site. The Museum Pass is good for 6 months.

One drawback: the Museum Pass doesn’t provide access to the Clock Tower which a few have said is very good.

Thank you for your reply, KW. I've heard the Clock Tower is very good, I wish I could squeeze it in! It's hard to find a balance between trying to see as much as you can but giving each sight the time they so deserve. Not an easy thing to do in Italy!
