Your guide shares local legends, unexplained occurrences, and ghost stories passed down through generations. Along the way, you’ll pass by the Gondola Danieli and Bacino Orseolo, one of the main gondola stations near St. Mark’s Square. The journey begins in Piazza San Marco, where you’ll learn about the square’s lesser‑known folklore.

From there, you’ll walk under the Torre dell’Orologio (Clock Tower) and through Merceria S.Zulian, a street known for high‑end fashion. At Chiesa di Santa Maria della Fava in Campo della Fava, near the Rialto, the guide reveals legends tied to this quiet corner. You’ll also stop outside Casa di Marco Polo to hear about the famous explorer’s life—and the intriguing story of his Chinese wife.
