Cristina our guide was so knowledgeable about the palace and was a great storyteller to allow us to experience the palace. There was so much to talk about but o my so much in a 2 hour tour. This was probably my favorite tour in Venice as I enjoy history and experiencing the stories from the past. Overall highly recommended - I wish we had more then 2 hours to spend there!
