Covid-19 Update

Due to health and safety regulations, this itinerary may change. See Know before you go for the latest updates.

Get off the beaten path of Venice, away from the crowds. With a guide, explore the heart of Venice, including lesser-known areas, rich with history such as the Rialto Area and The Church of San Giacometto (1200 A.D.).

Visit the labyrinth of “calli” and “campi” (narrow Venetian streets and squares) and find hidden architectural gems such as Marco Polo's House, a building believed to be the home of the famous explorer, marked by a white plaque and now used as a theater.

Continue to the Fenix Theatre, where Giuseppe Verdi and many other great composers performed their masterpieces. Pass through St. Mark's Square with its stunning monuments as well Doge's Palace, Basilica, and many other historic buildings.

There were two of us and we booked an hour walk with a guide. It was easy to book and I would highly recommend it. We were only in Venice for two days and the walking tour gave us so much information and helped us to get orientated. It very much added to our trip!!

It was a real pleasure to do this tour. Francesco the guide is excellent telling good stories, showing details, giving useful information and making the tour interesting for everyone ( there was an 9 years old boy in the group and he was completely integrated) Very interesting to visit the streets with a Venitian approach.

Super nice guide. However, the tour is only available in English and Italian and not in German as shown. He tries hard and answers all questions asked. In fact, it shows small alleys and corners that you would not be able to get to without a guide. I can highly recommend the tour !!!
