Hi to all the tourists out there who are excited to get to know more about my hometown of Venice. I'm licensed tour guide, I've been doing walking tours for seven years, and I was born and raised in Venice. Over this period, I have met people from many different cultures and had the chance to share some of Venice's most beautiful places and many of it's hidden secrets. I have enjoyed the experience so much, that I have earned over 250 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor for my tours in Venice.

Tour description

Welcome to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice! Join my tour if you want to know more about everything this amazing city has to offer. Being a native, I know all about the interesting stories that Venice and its famous streets, canals and buildings have to tell you. I love helping tourists discover the lesser known and more hidden history of Venice. On my tours, I have many fascinating anecdotes that really make the city and its colorful past come to life.
This tour includes, but is not limited to these iconic places:

  • the Jewish ghetto
  • the oldest Jewish ghetto in the world
  • Casino di Venezia, the oldest casino in the world.
  • The Church of the Illuminati,
  • The Rialto fish market,
  • The Rialto Bridge (featured in the 007 film Casino Royale)
  • The site of the old brothels


What are you waiting for!? Book your tour with me and discover a side of the city that many tour guides never give you the chance to see. Find out why so many travelers have given me a 5 star review on TripAdvisor! Thank you so much my friend!

Marc was our guide on the day not Francesco. The tour might not be suited to everyone as we found it less than interesting. If you are interested in stopping at a wine tasting bar and having a stop for an Icecream or coffee break then this tour is for you. We felt our time was wasted as we wanted more information on the history of the city given we have never been before.

We always take free walking tours and we love them. We always like to give a Canada bag with Canadian goodies with our tip

Francesco was not the one that provided the tour, he was instead replaced by Marc. Marc did a good job and provided interesting information.

This tour explores some of the lesser-known sights of Venice. The church was very cool. Other stops were hit and miss. This is definitely different from every other tour in the city.
