From the guide

Historical walking tour to discover the hidden Venice: the guide will show you secret corners and marvelous highlights.

Stroll through the off beaten track parts of Venice with an unusual walking tour. The amazing experience will bring you to the ancient heart of Venice: Campo Santa Maria Formosa with the baroque façade of its ancient church, and the Rialto Bridge area, the medieval center of the city.

You will be accompanied through calli, campi and palazzi in an exciting journey through the secrets of Casanova and the treasures taken from Constantinople.

Discover the famous Marco Polo's House and many other buildings!

Step inside a Venetian palace and uncover the secrets of Venice’s most iconic boat. See a real gondola up close, admire a handcrafted oar, and learn how this elegant vessel was once an essential part of everyday life for Venetians, then embark on a timeless VR aboard a gondola, gliding through Venice’s Grand Canal as history and tradition come to life around you.
