ヴェネツィア：ドゥカーレ宮殿の優先入場 + オーディオガイド アプリ

The instructions re meeting the tour operative with the tickets were clear but they must have moved before we arrived (we were on time, but only just). They did try to phone (phone was on silent as we had been in the Basilica) and then send the tickets via Whats App. The central Crown Tours team did reply immediately when I contacted them. So we had tickets but no audio guide. Lesson: turn up before the meet time! Not keen on the Doge's Palace as far too ornate, but that is personal taste. Still worth visiting, and you do get to walk over the Bridge of Sighs (twice; in each direction). There was a separate ticket for the Correr Museum, that was valid for 24 hours, so we went the following day. Really liked this. Beautiful opulent but tasteful rooms, and lots of interesting maps, globes, sculptures etc to see. Really liked the modern light art installations. So, a hiccup to start with, but overall a good experience and definitely worth avoiding the queues.

Suggest a guided tour first time to the Palace but the second time on your own with the audio is the way to do it. We found the audio from the Palace was better.

I was very glad I booked this group when I saw how long the standard lines were. I would definitely book this group again. It was definitely a time saver.

We arrived in Lido Di jesolo and were told by reception there was a general transport strike, no notification or warning from the tour company about it ,but they messaged me to confirm my attendance the day before !? ! how are tourists supposed to know about local transport strikes in advance? They wouldnt give us a reschedule- then offered a reschedule for €42 when I stressed that a courtesy info would have avoided this altogether. Lost £139 and my 70yr mum was devastated we didn’t get to see the sites. Absolutely disgusted at lack of customer communication or care.

Firstly, the guides met us in the wrong spot which caused much confusion. I found them in the shade at the Doge Palace instead of where they should have been. Thank god for the purple shirts! Overall the guided audio tour was woefully inadequate. If you purchased the audio tour at the locations you get dozens of guided portions but the Crown guided tour had about 11-12. So much history not covered. I was using my phone to research parts right and left. Plus, getting to the front of the line was the best and only part I would recommend.

Picked up tickets smoothly, host was at the location as stated. Wonderful walk through Doge’s Palace without waiting in line. Well worth visiting.

You can stay for a long time, or a short time with the self-guided tour with audio guide - whatever your preference is. It was nice to skip-the-line, and easy to find the Crowne Tour guides to retrieve our tickets and instructions for the audio guide.

Little disorganized at first to get our tickets and there was no true skip-the-line. But, once inside the liberty to walk at our own pace was very nice. The palace was beautiful and the audio was easy to use and informative.

A must see attraction in Venice, tour operator very efficient and we received our tickets very easily from the tour guide. Highly recommended.

I was disappointed that you are only allowed into about half of the palace. You can not see the actual living quarters, ballroom, etc. The parts that you can see are beautiful with great paintings and very ornate moldings. The prison was interesting. It is hard to imaging people being kept in a place like that.
