Details

What to expect:

Depends on the option chosen start your tour as a part of the group or privately. 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 Bridge.

First, discover Campo Santa Maria Formosa, one of the largest squares of the city, and explore the nine streets and 11 bridges that branch from it. Cross the Campiello degli Orbi, where once lived presumably a blind people Confraternity.

Next, arrive at the Saints John and Paul area, now the site of Venetian hospital. Visit the labyrinth of calli and campi (narrow Venetian streets and squares) and find 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.

Finally, pass through St. Mark's Square with its stunning monuments as well as Doge's Palace. Choose an optional gondola ride on the canals to admire Venice's highlights, such as the Mozart House, the Fenice Opera House, and the Grand Canal. End your tour at Piazza San Marco.

Rosalina was a great guide for our Venice tour. She shared so much knowledge and interesting insights about Venice, Venetian culture, and history making the tour very engaging. We also appreciated her recommendations for restaurants and cafes. Our gondolier was also very good - amazing skills he has to keep us within an inch from the canal walls without the gondola touching them. He also sang! This was the quintessential Venice experience without the price tag of a private tour.

Our guide was excellent The only suggestion for improvement would be to have groups who all spoke the same language. The fact that half of the tour was in a language each group didn’t speak effectively meant that half the commentary was not relevant Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the walk Thank you
