Your experience

Meet your guide in Venice city center and, with your local insider, discover the magic of Venice in a 2-hours walking tour. The expert will tell you everything about the typical features of Venice, such as the navigation, the unique lifestyle, the most authentic places, the delicious food and wine and the city’s glorious past.  Admire the most beautiful places of Venice, walk through the picturesque “calli”- tiny and fascinating streets -, see the Gondoliers sailing in the canals and arrive at the Rialto area. Here, you’ll admire the local market and the center of Venetian business since the year 1000. Merchants coming from all over the world went to Rialto Market to exchange spices, fabrics, salt and gold. Now you can still see the ancient fruit and fish market with Sant'Erasmo's first fruits.  Finally, reach the Ponte di Rialto,  the first bridge built on Grand Canal. Don’t forget your camera! This is one of the most photographed places in Venice. Beautiful palaces, built in the so-called Venetian style embellish the canal that cuts Venice into two. Keep following your local insider through the "sestieri" - Venetian name for neighborhood - until the majestic and world-famous Piazza San Marco, the stunning square that hosts St.Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s palace. Listen to stories and legends about Venetian architecture and art and admire the most iconic square in the world.

Lara

I was born in Veneto but I lived out of this region for several years, doing different jobs, until I identified my real inclination and passion: leading people through one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice... So I started studying in order to become first a tour leader and then a tour guide and to provide travelers with light and fun but educational tours! I love seeing a twinkle in the eyes of people who visit and enjoy this city... the greatest satisfaction for me is being told that they had the feeling they were taking a walk with a friend...!
