We had a great guide who gave us a lot of information about the history of the palace and of Venice since the palace was erected. He was especially well educated in art history and pointed us to the most interesting spots. We would have missed many of them without his help. Besides the statues and paintings, we were most impressed with the building itself and its history in connecdtion with the history of the city. We were truly impressed to see for the first time the original painting of Machiavelli which is so well known from the title cover of his most famous book. We were very grateful for the competent guide.

Die Tour war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis, nach dem man die Dan Brown Bücher gelesen hatte. Der Saal der 500 war das Highlight der Tour. Unser Guide, der Leonardo, hatte ein solides Fachwissen und hat uns die Geschichte des Palazzo begeistert nahe gebracht. Die Tour war sehr interessant und hat auch Spaß gemacht. Sehr empfehlenswert.
