Step by Step

This guided tour of Venice is perfect for those who want to discover the city beyond the typical photos, combining great monuments, charming corners and little local stories. The tour starts in St. Mark's Square, the monumental heart of Venice, surrounded by the Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the Campanile, three of its most recognisable symbols.

From there, you will leave behind the busiest areas to enter the labyrinth of streets and squares that give the city its personality. During the route, you will pass by outstanding places such as the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, the historic hospital of Venice, the elegant Soranzo Van Axel Palace and the Corte Seconda del Milion, linked to the figure of Marco Polo.

One of the highlights of the tour is the stop at a traditional bacaro, where you can enjoy a Venetian spritz, one of the most authentic customs of the city. You will then continue to the Riva del Carbon, an enclave with privileged views of the Rialto Bridge, one of the great icons of the Venetian mercantile past.

The experience is completed with access to the Venice Gallery, where a visual and immersive proposal allows you to discover how St. Mark's Square and the Grand Canal have changed over the centuries. It is a highly recommended visit for those looking for a first contact with Venice, combining heritage, local atmosphere and a different way of understanding the history of the city.

    The experience was quite good, although I expected something more from this tour. Despite this, I am happy to have done it, I got to know many new areas and learned a lot about each one of them.
