Tour description

Venice is so full of art, history and magic that you can find something interesting to see almost in every corner. That’s why we don’t have a fixed tour but it changes every time depending on several aspects: the guide, the number of people, the weather. For sure we will move off the beaten tracks and you will discover that Venice has a lot to offer and you will be able to see what usually tourists miss. We will avoid places like St. Mark Square because you can find information about them in any tour guide, and are usually they are so crowded that you can’t even hear someone speaking, but we will show you the biggest oil on canvas in the world or the first Jewish ghetto in history and many other fabulous places that you will probably miss if you tour by yourself. Moreover our guides, who have been born here, will explain to you something about life in Venice, a city which is different from any other place in the world, giving advice and tips about how to enjoy the city at its best. And everything it’s for free. At the end of the tour, if you liked it, you will decide if you want to contribute to help our organization to get its targets with a donation.
Tours are in English Monday to Saturday and in Italian on Sundays.

I really enjoyed the tour with Andrea. He is a real Venitian and knows a lot about the city anf its hidden treasures but he keeps it light. I would recommend this tour to anybody who is in Venice for the first time.

The tour was really nice, mostly around places that were not so crowded (hard to find in Venice!). Andrea was great, he provided a lot of diverse information and kindly answered everybody's questions. I think it is a great choice for the first few hours in Venice, it definitely helps to learn how to get around.

Andrea was a great Tourguide who showed us great places, which you would just skip, if you would be on your own. Andrea was always entertaining and I am pretty sure he could offer a tour just with all the movies which were produced in Venice. It was a pleasure
