Glide through Venice on a private walking tour with a friendly local discovery guide, tailored from a swift 1-hour orientation to a rich 6-hour deep dive through elegant campi, story-filled calli, historic bridges, and sweeping lagoon promenades. Wander at a relaxed pace under graceful porticoes and along quiet canals, pause for photos at classic viewpoints, and hear lively tales of merchants, explorers, and artisans that bring La Serenissima to life. Your guide will personalize the route want like—hidden courtyards, neighborhood squares, street art corners, or scenic waterfronts—staying entirely in public spaces. Expect insider tips for snacks and gelato, time for spontaneous detours, and a warm, flexible experience that captures Venice’s atmosphere, from iconic vistas to authentic local moments.
