Highlights
Discover a side of Venice that most visitors never see. Your adventure begins within a short walk of Piazza San Marco before wandering deeper into the city’s quieter corners. Along the way, you’ll pass through narrow calles, hidden canals, and lively campos while discovering the rhythms of everyday Venetian life beyond the crowded tourist routes. Rather than focusing on Venice’s major landmarks and famous attractions, this experience is designed to explore the lesser-known parts of the city — the places that give Venice its atmosphere, personality, and sense of mystery. Throughout the walk, your local host will share stories, historical context, and cultural insights that help bring the city to life while revealing some of the details and traditions many visitors overlook. Each of our hosts has a different surprise in store for you! We will begin and finish within approximately 15 minutes of Piazza San Marco, making it easy to continue exploring the city afterwards.

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
