Essential Free walking tours of Venice

What a tour!!! Francesco shares his knowledge in a highly engaging and dynamic way, revealing a side of Venice most tourists never get to see. The three hours flew by — I couldn’t recommend this tour more!

I love these tour companies! They never disappoint!!!

Very fun and fascinating tour. Francesco is a local very experienced guide and took us all around the city for almost 3 hours. The stories and explanations about a variety of subjects were interesting and we learned a lot. Recommended!

Excellent tour. Simona was very knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. She always asked if anyone had any questions and answered all questions very thoroughly. We would going more tours with Simona.

Francesco is an experienced tourist guard. He was on time to the meeting point. He explained a lot of details/histories of the sites we visited. I really enjoyed this walking tour. I will join more with Guru walking tours when I travel to other places in the future.

Francesco was a great tour guide! He made the tour interesting and engaging, made sure everyone was included, and took us to places we never would have gone ourselves. This is a great tour to do to see the non touristy parts of Venice. We covered a lot!

It was amazing! Many usueful information and I learned a lot. Would to it again!!!

Maria was exactly what you want for a guru! She was very informative but relaxed and fun! I would take another tour from her in a heartbeat. I just came back from Osteria al Cichetto (which was her recommendation) and the dinner was outstanding. And I didn’t mention her recommendation until the end. Even still I had to show her profile picture and then they recognized her and said she comes in for aperitivo (not that I doubted her). She obviously loves Venice and I wish more people would take these types of tours so we could all love, respect and cherish this most amazing city! Grazie, Maria!!

Francisco was engaging, humorous, and very knowledgable. We saw parts of the city we wouldn’t have known existed. A great tour from a local who was born in Venice, detailed and highly recommended especially if you’re looking for something that covers other things than the key tourist sites.

Great tour, got to learn a lot about the back routes of Venice rather than all the big touristic stuff. Francesco was willing to answer any questions I had as well

hope marialaura will get our gratitude words .. it was not an easy tour considering the weather ...eventhough Venice is a splendour whatever the weather. she was entertaining and smart and gave us the feeling she really wants us to keep attentive and eager ...what else should a guide do . special thanks for the docs she shared at the end of the walk. wish her to stay with this profession and enjoy it for as long she will not get bored or tired ....all the good wishes from Lena &Andrei W. - from Israel

Lucia was fantastic! Not only did she provide an extremely informative and interesting 2 hour walking tour, but she also followed up with specifically relevant information for us. She went above and beyond, and answered numerous questions for us after the tour. She was truly helpful and generous with her time and knowledge

Really different tour of Venice, none of the tourist haunts that you can find for yourself, lots if backstreets and alleys and interesting stuff!

Sensacional

Really enjoyed the tour and Francesco was fantastic

Francesco was a brilliant guide. He walked us through the hidden gems of Venice and spoke about the history and events that took place in these places. We appreciated all the recommendations and the knowledge he shared. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend his tour.

Lucia was great ☺️ The tour was interesting and interactive. Interesting to listen and for us, the best one from guru walk. It was raining but she went to places where we could hide which is a big plus.

Well worth taking the tour even in the rain. Great little finds and lots of interesting facts and information. After tour went for a quick snack and to try a Selekt. 🥂 Thank you.

Lucia’s tour was really fun and covered some of the less touristy places that most people will see with a tour or otherwise. The tour was really enjoyable and included a few excellent recommendations for food and for things to do after. Overall we were really pleased with the tour and would recommend.

Lucia was a fantastic guide! Knowledgeable, funny and kind. Highly recommend!

Lucia was just amazing. She was warm and friendly with amazing local knowledge and so many great tips for restaurants etc. Would definitely recommend her tour.

Stupendo!!! Ottimo anche per italiani

Francesco was great!! He has a dry sense of humor and loves to show off the hidden spots of Venice. We really enjoyed the tour and our time with him.

Mary is really well prepared. Her tour of less famous places of Venice is really amazing , full of interesting pills about the city. Very recommended.

A very knowledgeable guide! Simona was very pleasant and we really enjoyed the tour with her.
