Description
Discover the Venice of its origins on a guided walk through hidden vistas, quiet little squares, and architectural details that tell the story of a city unlike any other in the world. Accompanied by a specialist nature guide, you will start by observing the natural and historical elements that have shaped the Serenissima – water, wood and stone – and learn how Venice has managed to thrive in a fragile yet extraordinary ecosystem.
The itinerary takes you along canals, over bridges, and through narrow streets off the beaten path, where authentic Venetian life still thrives. During the tour, you will learn how the city was built on millions of piles, without an aqueduct, and yet became the queen of the Mediterranean, thanks to ingenuity, special materials, and a sophisticated water system. Experience the magic of a tranquil and authentic Venice, revealed through natural and historical curiosities.
At the end of the tour, upon request, there is the option of stopping at a historic venue to sample traditional cicchetti and wine (not included).
