Doge’s Palace & Optional St. Mark’s Basilica Fast Access Tour
Mike_M, Sep 2026
Must see when in Venice.
This is a must see in Venice. The palace and chapel were amazing. The tour guide was very detailed and knowledgeable about both sites. One note. There are a lot of steps at the palace. There are elevators if you need them, however the elevators don't really line up with the tour route. It gets very easy to get seperated from the group.Afterwards we also went to see a glass blowing demonstration which was really neat.

Murano : Boat Tour, Glassworks and Blow moulding Demonstration
Anne_G, Sep 2026
Nice excursion to see great craftsmanship!
Nice experience to see the glass working at Murano though not my first such demo. There was no blowing just pulling and shaping. The artisan was extremely adept at his craft, as he should be after 40+ years of it. The showrooms of masterpieces were exquisite. Our guide at the factory was knowledgeable, charming and helpful.

An enjoyable tour with Denise.
Our Guide, Denise, was lovely. From the very start we felt very at ease with her. Not once did we feel an overload of history and information. It was a pleasure to spend time with her, and she could laugh! Sorry Denise, I forgot to return your fan. Annie and Sally.🇦🇺

Grazie mille!
We had an amazing experience with Michela seeing beautiful Venice! We were limited on time so also added on a tour to Murano and Burano too. The basilica and palace were stunning and bought to life with amazing facts and knowledge from Michela. She made everything make so much sense. We all loved going on our first gondola ride, a must for experiencing Venice. Michela was able to explain the processes required to become a gondelier. We were able to customise our tour to include Murano and Burano which we loved. I highly recommend this tour with Memento. Fabulous!

Beautiful art
We had a small tour group of seven. Susie, a solo traveler, joined our group of six. She is from our home county in California. Susie was a pleasant addition to our group. Clare , our guide, had enough energy for everyone. She was so interesting and engaging. She provided information about the Doge’s and the Saints. It was so much fun. Doge’s Palace contains beautiful art and history. I was amazed at the different time periods all in one place. We left Claire and were escorted to the gondola ride. You have to take a gondola ride once in your life.
