Essential Free walking tours of Venice

Great Tour, with a great guide. Perfect to understand and places you don't see necessarily on your own.

I've been to three walking tours here and this was best, most special, most personal. Francesco deserves much more than I was able to give in return, and you should not miss an opportunity to walk Venice with him 🙏😘

We loved the tour. Loved the leisurely stop for a drink and getting to know people who were attending the tour. The guide was quirky and entertaining.

Muy simpática, entretenido su relato, muchas historia. Excelente!

Perfect

Very nice guy, we were excited about unusual city tour! Its very pleasant to see hidden spots, not a usual city sights. Francesco one love!

A top rate, personal tour of the back streets of Venice with a local and professional guide. Highly recommended.

Francesco gave us straight forward, no nonsense tour of the lesser known places in Venice starting with the Jewish ghetto

This is the one in Venice! Fascinating!

Francesco is a Venetian and a real professional, with a great sense of humour. The tour was extraordinary - he used to be history teacher and specialist in art, so he’s extremely knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. The tour showed us a hidden places in Venice with no tourist AT ALL!!! Highly recommend!!!

Simona was very knowledgable, and also humorous! It was a fun tour!

Maria was excellent! She has tremendous knowlege, and encourages questions. Her English is perfect and she was very easy to understand.

Simona was great. Very knowledgeable and had an answer for everyone’s questions. Very enjoyable and Simona was funny too! Thank you!

Alice was very knowledgeable and we covered a lot of areas we would never have discovered on our own. The shared documents with suggestions was appreciated!

Francesco is indeed the ‘backstreet boy’ expert of Venice; unraveling the history of Venice in his own unique way

Fascinating tour of less touristy part of Venice

Tour imperdible para aquellos que vengan a Venecia

We wanted the hidden Venice and we got it! A bonus was a short trip in a gondola which we were not expecting. Grazie mille Francesxo!

I appreciated his humor and the attempt to engage the audience. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his topic. As a life long resident he certainly knows the info. I learned a lot that was off the typical beaten path.

Yours was very good and gave a good use of Veneza beyond San Marco

Had a wonderful tour in Venice! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Francesco really is a character. But above all that, he showed us the streets of Venice, and knowing them is really an art; the information he shared was incredible, both entertaining and teaching us about history. 100% reccomend

Simona was very professional, provided a lot of valuable information, answered all the questions in great detail, ensured that all members of the group were looked after and use many anecdotes and humour to emphasise key points of the tour. Very impressed. Well done Simona

We joined the Hidden Gem Tour with Francesco, and it was absolutely wonderful! His passion for Venice and its secret corners truly shines through. Thanks to him, we discovered a side of the city that most visitors never see — authentic, peaceful, and full of stories. Francesco shares his knowledge with charm, humor, and genuine enthusiasm, bringing every alley and square to life. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real Venice, away from the crowds. More than worth it!

This was an exceptional tour. Alice took us to the "off the beaten path" places and was very engaging. She helped us better understand the different neighborhoods of Venice, the history and how people live in Venice today. She was knowledgeable and personable. It just goes to show that so many times the tip based tours have the very best guides.
