As twilight drapes Venice in golden hues and the crowds begin to thin, join us for an unforgettable evening walk that reveals the city’s most enchanting secrets. Our journey begins in the heart of Venice — the majestic Piazza San Marco, where the Basilica glows under the night sky and the Campanile casts its long shadow over the square. With stories of emperors, explorers, and masked intrigues, you’ll discover the layers of history hidden behind every column and arch.
As we walk, the city’s vibrant spirit will unfold in unexpected ways: the echo of footsteps on cobblestones, the soft splash of water in the dark, the perfume of night jasmine in the air.
Our path leads us gently to the Rialto, the oldest and most iconic of Venice’s bridges, where the Grand Canal shimmers with reflections of lanterns and gondolas.
This isn’t just a tour — it’s a journey into the soul of Venice, seen through the eyes of those who love her most.

As we leave the crowds behind, we’ll dive into the quieter, more intimate calli and campielli, discovering how everyday life unfolds just steps from the monumental. Along the way, your guide will reveal fascinating stories of noble families, political intrigues, and curious legends that shaped the city. Our path winds through charming alleys and across picturesque bridges until we reach Campo Santa Maria Formosa, a lively square where history, architecture, and local life converge.
