VENICE WALK IN THE COMPANY OF A PRIVATE PROFESSIONAL GUIDE TO DISCOVER THE CITY

Venice is celebrated worldwide and features in countless travel guides, yet you will quickly discover that exploring it in the company of an experienced private guide can make your visit truly unforgettable.

Meet your private guide in Piazza San Marco, the vibrant heart of Venice. One of Italy’s most celebrated monumental squares, it is lined with charming cafés and dominated by two of the city’s most iconic landmarks: the magnificent Basilica of San Marco and the historic Doge’s Palace.

Your expert guide will bring these remarkable monuments to life, sharing fascinating historical details, legends, and intriguing anecdotes while revealing how closely their stories are intertwined with the origins and evolution of Venice.

Continue your journey through the maze of picturesque lanes and hidden alleyways of the historic center, making your way towards the La Fenice Theatre. Once devastated by a major fire, this renowned opera house was beautifully restored and returned to its former splendor. From here, continue to Palazzo Fortuny, a fascinating historic residence once known as the Palace of the Orphans.

Discover the enchanting Scala di Bovolo, tucked away in a charming courtyard and affectionately known as the “snail staircase” thanks to its distinctive spiral design. Then proceed towards the impressive Rialto Bridge, where you can admire spectacular views over the Grand Canal and learn about the nearby connection to Marco Polo, the legendary Venetian explorer.

Make the most of your time with an expert private guide, and immerse yourself in the unique character of Venice as you hear the distinctive local dialect spoken around you. While strolling through the historic streets, admire extraordinary architectural treasures and uncover fascinating stories from Venice’s past, including how the city’s commercial influence declined following the discovery of the New World.

Experience all this and much more on a private walking tour led by a professional guide, designed to reveal the history, culture, hidden corners, and timeless beauty of central Venice.
