Best Online Ticket Agents in Italy?

[jc522]

We are on our own for 2 days in Venice. We need to purchase tickets for places like the Doge's Palace or the Campanile Tower. Can anyone recommend online  ticket agents (like Viator) that they have used for sites in Venice or Italy in general?

We used Viator for the Doge's Palace on our last trip to Venice. Do take the "secret" tour. It's wonderful. You'll visit the cell Casanova escaped from, see the torture room, walk over the Bridge of Sighs and peer out the window, and visit the secretariat where the paperwork for all the royal families was kept right up until the time Napoleon conquered Venice. 

 

For the Campanile we just walked up and bought tickers. If you go up to the Campanile right before noon, you'll be rewarded with the sights and sounds of the bells ringing. Yes, you can see them and FEEL them!!!

 

We also used Viator for other walking tours of Venice, such as the nighttime "ghost" tour and the tour of St Mark's.

 

As I mentioned in another post about Venice and those interested in visiting Murano. Last time we were in Venice there were hawkers in Piazza San Marco from the glass works offering free water taxi rides to Murano to visit their glass factory. This is essentially the same thing Viking is offering but it's free. The glass blowing demonstration is well worth your time and at the end you can tour their showroom. The showrooms are pretty amazing. There is no obligation to buy anything. The boat ride to the island is very pleasant and you'll pass the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs on your way. So if you are in Venice on you own, walk between the Campanella & the docks and you may be approached. They are looking for couples to buy their wares.

Don't forget the Ports of Call section of these boards.  Since you aren't asking a Viking specific, you can draw on a much larger audience for answers.  Once get some names, you can always come back here and about the specific companies you have heard about.

We were in Venice 5 years ago, and just walked up to the ticket office at Doge's Palace.  It was a very short wait, if at all. We were there fairly early in the day, so not sure if it gets more crowded later in the day/
