Come with me to discover the secrets of Venice with a different kind of tour that will make you feel like a true Venetian citizen and will help you to get the best of the city during your entire stay.
In addition to the most famous places in Venice (such as San Marco Square and the Rialto Bridge) I will guide you through the most hidden and non-touristic parts of the city where we can analyse its history and its construction. I will focus on architecture and its culture with amusing anecdotes and legendary discoveries. We will take a walk through alleys, bridges and small squares-like observing a part of the city that you probably would not see without getting lost in it. During the excursion I will share my experiences and curiosities to make you feel like home and help you to enjoy your time in the city and the lagoon. You will be able to solve all the curiosities that you have in mind and do not let you sleep at night, I will take care of answering all your questions myself!
