doges-secret tour Venice

[realtrip]

I'd like to do the secret tour of the Doges. How do you go about booking it?

 

Is it possible just to show up at the Doges, say a half hour before the tour, and buy the tickets? Or maybe buy them the day before?

 

We could go on Friday or Saturday; we'd be doing the tour in French, preferably, but it would be Ok in English, too.

 

TIA

It's vary easy to book it online: http://palazzoducale.visitmuve.it/en/pianifica-la-tua-visita/secretitineraries/ I will tell you, having done it, that it is not for the claustrophobic or anyone who has mobility problems, but it's fascinating. My wife and I were in Venice for a week in early May this year on a land tour, and the city was already packed with tourists; we would not have been able to do this unless we had booked it in advance.

We also booked in advance last year and so when we got there it was a smooth and quick process. They check your tickets and then you await your guide in the courtyard, there are about 10 in the group. Interesting tour, quite unique.
