Overview

Dive into Venetian history and culture on our semi-private 2.5-hour walking tour (up to 12 guests per guide). Take in unforgettable views of the Rialto bridge from the Grand Canal and admire the intricate facades of the famed Venetian Palazzi, once the homes of Venice’s wealthiest nobles. Get away from the crowds and venture into the neighbourhood of San Polo where the locals meet for “Cicchetti”, the venetian tapas, and spritz, the city’s favourite cocktail. Our passionate, expert guide will lead you along Venice’s enchanting canals unveiling hidden gems and sharing gripping tales of its rich history and vibrant local culture.
Gain insights into the Jewish history with a visit to the world’s first ghetto, still the home to the Venice’s Jewish population. Explore its narrow alleyways lined with synagogues, charming bookshops, and learn about the resilient spirit of this vibrant community. By the end of the tour you’ll truly feel like a Venetian local!
