The Secrets of Venice - Private Tour

Overview

Come and discover the secrets of Venice with a different tour that will make you feel like a true Venetian citizen and help you to catch the best of the city during your stay. In addition to the most famous places in Venice (such as St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge) I will guide you through the most hidden and non-touristy parts of the city, where we can analyze its history and construction. I will focus on architecture and its culture with entertaining anecdotes and legendary discoveries. We will take a walk through alleys, bridges and fields observing a part of the city that you probably would not see without getting lost. During the excursion I will share my experiences and curiosities to make you feel at home. *FOR PRIVATE TOURS CONTACT ME*
