An evening walk through the dim alleys around St Mark's with a licensed Venetian guide, reading the carved hearts, engravings and dark corners that carry the city's murder and magic stories.

A dark corner, a heart embedded on the wall. In Venice, every detail tells a story; they are all around us, but they reveal themselves only to the eyes of the most attentive observer.
An engraving on the stone, a dark corner, an heart embedded on the wall... In Venice, every detail tells a story; they are all around us, but they reveal themselves only to the eyes of the most attentive observer.
An engaging tour through the narrow, dimly lit alleys, listening to tales of magic, betrayal, and revenge—many are just popular stories, but just as many are events that actually happened
