“Loredana was very knowledgeable and very passionate about history of Doge’s palace. It was so beautifully fuss free that I felt really relaxed and able to fully appreciate the beauty of the palace. We were a small group of 6 so that was a huge bonus and I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the palace. Grazie, Loredana”
