Tour description

Venice is so full of art, history and magic that you can find something interesting to see almost in every corner. That’s why we don’t have a fixed tour but it changes every time depending on several aspects: the guide, the number of people, the weather. For sure we will move off the beaten tracks and you will discover that Venice has a lot to offer and you will be able to see what usually tourists miss. We will avoid places like St. Mark Square because you can find information about them in any tour guide, and are usually they are so crowded that you can’t even hear someone speaking, but we will show you the biggest oil on canvas in the world or the first Jewish ghetto in history and many other fabulous places that you will probably miss if you tour by yourself. Moreover our guides, who have been born here, will explain to you something about life in Venice, a city which is different from any other place in the world, giving advice and tips about how to enjoy the city at its best. And everything it’s for free. At the end of the tour, if you liked it, you will decide if you want to contribute to help our organization to get its targets with a donation.
Tours are in English Monday to Saturday and in Italian on Sundays.

Excellent and informative in a fun way. We learned so much about Venice and went back to look closer, places we would never found. Thank you

Andrea was a really good guide! He showed us a lot of parts of Venice that are not very touristic. We’d probably miss them if it was not for the tour. Fully recommend it, if you don’t have too much time and want to learn some historical facts about the city.

Fun, engaging. Off-the beaten path information that was different than other tours we’ve been on. It felt more intimate as it was limited in size as well. Highly recommend. Andrea was awesome

We preferred this tour because it takes you to places where you would not be able to find on your own. Andrea is an knowledged and fun guide, he gave a lot of information about the local life in Venice and told a lot of interesting stories. We are glad that we took the tour and would highly recommend it.
