Step away from the crowded piazzas and into the tactile, acoustic, and aromatic secrets of Venice. This is not a tour of dates and dynasties, but a journey of the senses. You will feel the rough Istrian stone carved by ancient merchants, listen to the acoustic isolation of hidden courtyards, smell the brackish life of the lagoon, and experience the vertigo of a 15th-century bridge without railings. Join a poet and a local as they guide you through the intimate, human-scale stories of a city that speaks in whispers.
