Description

Step away from the crowds and discover a more authentic side of Venice on this small-group walking tour. Starting near the iconic Rialto Bridge, you’ll explore quieter neighbourhoods, hidden corners, and local spots that most visitors miss. Along the way, experience daily Venetian life—from the historic Rialto Market to artisan workshops where traditional crafts are still practiced. Meet passionate local makers, including a chocolatier, and enjoy a carefully selected tasting that reflects the city’s culinary heritage. Your journey continues through lesser-known squares, historic landmarks, and waterfront views over the Venetian lagoon, brought to life through stories from your expert local guide.
