2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 3 more

Venice is more than postcards and palaces — it is a city shaped by crisis, creativity, and commerce.
We begin in the quieter district of Dorsoduro, near the Academia Bridge, where Venice feels residential and alive. From here, we explore how art, faith, and global trade shaped one of history’s most powerful maritime republics.
As we wind through hidden calli and elegant campi, we encounter the Teatro La Fenice, a symbol of Venetian resilience that has literally risen from the ashes. Along the way, we step into lesser-known corners like Scala Contarini del Bovolo, revealing the refined tastes and ambitions of noble families.
Our guides will give you a view of Venice like no other :)

We adjust the meeting point to make sure we begin in a quiet area and will send you a WhasApp message the night before to confirm.

the itinerary and routes often vary. We sometimes adjust the route to showcase the best parts of Venice in the most comfortable settings.
