What to expect

Ready to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes? Delve into the UNESCO-listed Doge's Palace, the ultimate symbol of Venetian power and grandeur. Prepare to be wowed by Gothic vibes and lavish decor – and brace yourselves for spine-tingling secrets as you cross the Bridge of Sighs to the New Prisons. “It’s not just name”, says Illaria, one of our local guides, “it’s where prisoners took their last peek at beautiful Venice.”

Kick things off with some insta-worthy shots of the inner courtyard, capturing the grand palace facade, and the quirky lion mouth letterboxes – the old complaint system in ancient Venice. Once inside, you’ll be mesmerised by the statues of Hercules and Atlas of the dazzling Golden Staircase, and don’t forget to look up for a jaw-dropping ceiling show. Follow your guide to the Great Council Hall, where Tintoretto's paradise practically begs for a selfie.

Time to switch gears diving into the Armory – think portraits, swords and armour galore, before immersing yourselves in the luxurious world of Venetian nobility at the Doge’s Apartments. Last but certainly not least, walk in the footsteps of past prisoners as you cross the iconic Bridge of Sighs. It's not just a photo op – it's like being in a real-life thriller. Get ready to play detective as your guide reveals all the juicy details about Casanova’s daring escape.
