Tour description

Welcome to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice! Join my tour if you want to learn more about all that this amazing city has to offer. As I am a native, I know all about the interesting stories that Venice and its famous streets, canals and buildings have to tell you. I love helping tourists discover the lesser known and more hidden history of Venice. On my tours, I have many fascinating anecdotes that really bring the city and its colorful past to life. This tour includes but is not limited to these iconic places: -Jewish Ghetto, the oldest Jewish ghetto in the world -Casino di Venezia, the oldest casino in the world. -The Church of the Illuminati, -The Rialto Fish Market, -The Rialto Bridge (featured in the movie 007 Casino Royale) -The site of the old brothels -This tour near the Church of Frari. (What you may recognize from the famous movie "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade") * Make sure to arrive 10 minutes early so we can start the tour on time. ** Depending on the weather conditions, (seasonal- Acqua Alta) the physical condition of the walkers, the large crowds that can sometimes make a tour difficult, and based on the things that walkers find particularly interesting, I can adjust the itinerary to Your trip in Venice is truly unforgettable and allows you to see the city like a true local. What are you waiting for!? Book your tour with me and see a side of the city that many tour guides never give you a chance to see. Find out why so many travelers have given me a 5-star review on TripAdvisor! Grazie mille amico!

Francesco did not arrive to give our tour. We understand things come up and would have hoped for a text letting us know it was cancelled so we didn’t wait around for so long.

Grande delusione! Purtroppo Francesco non si è presentato e non ha neanche avvisato che il tour non si sarebbe svolto! Poco professionale !

Don’t book at Guru Walk in Venice for Francesco. He is not reliable. He did not show up.
