Its a walk through museum where an old prison used to be. Super interesting. The one downside is that its promoted as family friendly. I attended a 3pm with my 7.5 year old and 2 .5 year old husband and dad. There was a man making comments towards me and my 2.5 year old because she was talking as a 2.5 year old will. The guide and the other guests weren't bothered. However the guide didn't intervene either. The situation became uncomfortable and I felt harrased, enough that I left the group with my 2.5 year old. I sought out support from the museum management and was told not to worry. With that said at thar point I was no longer feeling relaxed or able to enjoy the tour. It needs to be made clear when an event is promoted as family friendly that this means others should expect the dynamics that come with children. Perhaps offering an adult only version. So while I recommend the tour itself, as a family I would not attend.

Great tour, insightful
Emma our guide was patient and helpful. We found this insightful and felt so lucky that we were the only ones on the tour so got to ask as many questions as we like. Emma was great at making sure she pitched the tour to the comfort of us making sure if we needed detail or not on various torture devices.

A different view of Venician history
This was a great tour.
Very macabre, thought provoking, sickening at times.
Reminisce about the times when you could be accused of a crime by a neighbour and tortured without trial.
This tour goes inside the prison next to the palace and next to the bridge of sighs, showing the cells prisoners were kept in and some of the original devices to torture to gain confessions from the guilty and the innocent.

This tour was not torture
Great to learn the history of the Venetian prison and cast system. Guide was knowledgeable and fun. Nice to be able to walk around the rooms to see the conditions

A wonderful hour spent learning with Alex
This was a wonderful one on one tour with Alex. Alex was very knowledgeable about the history of the house, the night lords, and various forms of torture implements. I’m glad I paid attention so she didn’t have to use any on me. Alex had the skill of a museum docent and curator who had been doing the profession for a decade, I was very surprised to learn she had only been doing tours for a year,
I highly recommend booking this if you’re in Venice. Ask for Alex and tell her Mike sent you so you can avoid being put in the Big Venetian chair.
Thanks Alex!

Average at best
The guide did not enhance the experience; we could have just read the signs.
