Unusual Walking Tour with 30-Minute Gondola Ride

Wander Venice’s unique paths, with an optional gondola ride to complete the experience.

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.

Our guide was fantastic. A wonderful tour, beautiful alleys, and wonderful churches. He explained everything brilliantly with passion, wit, charm, and a wealth of expertise. The Hofmann family says thank you so much

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
