Venice
Nancy LaChance: Gondola Ride and Doges Palace Se
Venice, Italy
Shore Excursion and Port Information
Nancy LaChance
We arrived in Venice and onto the ship late afternoon the day before
departure. This allowed the opportunity for an evening gondola ride, one
of the highlights of the trip. Six of us paid $120 Euros, including tip.
We were especially happy we had gone in that evening because it rained
the next day. Most of our on-line group booked the Doges Palace Secret
Tour www.tickitaly.com that takes you into the back rooms and darker
history of the palace. Great tour – highly recommend it. Buy your
tickets in advance on line to avoid the long lines and don’t forget to
print out and bring your voucher. Even though they had a record of our
ticket purchase, they punished us for forgetting our voucher (we missed
the first part of the tour while they held us back trying to decide what
to do with us.)
