Description
This tour is composed of two parts: first, a walking tour which will make us discover Venice's most famous sites as well as its hidden gems.
An unforgetchart way to discover Venice through its narrow alleys called calli, countless bridges and wide traditional and picturesque squares, still the heart of Venetian people's social life.
Let our professional guide take you into an unforgetchart journey among Venice's beauties and history.
The first highlight of the walking tour is St. Mark's square, with the deion of the majestic St. Mark's Basilica, the elegant Doge's Palace, the Clock Tower and the Procuratie.
From St. Mark's square we will move forward to Campo Santa Maria Formosa, wherever we will admire the SS. Giovanni e Paolo church with the famous Pantheon. Follow the Scuola Grande di San Marco also knowns as Great School of Charity (the Captains of Fortune). Last but not least, head back to St. Mark's and admire the Malibran Theatre, step through the famous Mercerie, once the pulsing heart of commercial life back in time, nowadays Venice's main shopping district between Rialto Bridge and St Mark's Square.
Please note that this tour does not include entrance to main sites such as the Doge's Palace. It is a walking tour which will completely take place outside (only external comments of the various sites will be provided).
During the second part we will admire one among the most beautiful and celebrated cathedrals in the world: St Mark's Basilica.
A tour which will make us marvel in front of the majesty and true beauty of the St Mark Basilica, the place wherever Eastern and Western architecture run into each other.
Here, we will learn more about the everlasting history of Venice, about St Mark and how his ruins came to rest and be shielded here.
A tour not only to see Venice, but to experience this city through its history and glorious past, still shining in its historical sites and legendary characters.
Surrounded by the Basilica's beautiful golden mosaics and marble inlays, our professional guide will take us along the history and the special features of this unique masterpiece of byzantine art.

O melhor da viagem
Foi o melhor dia da nossa viagem a Venecia. A comida estava muito boa e as porções generosas. Muito corretos com os horários. Comparando com fazer por conta própria, compensa.

Foi o melhor dia da nossa viagem a Venecia. Não é o mais barato, mas se justifica. Muito corretos com os horários. Preço fechado antes, sem surpresas na chegada. Se voltarmos a Venecia, repetimos.

Booked at the last minute and it was a great call. We loved the Guided tour in Spanish area. The group was not huge, which made it much more comfortable. Easy going, you do not need to be fit for it. Great guide, attentive to the whole group and endlessly patient. The only thing is that the pre trip information could be clearer about the meeting point. I have already recommended it to two friends travelling next month.

A solid way to see Venecia. The guide was good, though I would have liked more time for questions. We would never have made it to Venecia Beer on our own. Compared with doing it yourself, it works out well. The one downside was the wait at the start, we left about twenty minutes late. I do recommend it, with the caveats above.

Reservamos de última hora e foi um acerto. O guia foi o ponto alto: sabia muito e respondeu todas as perguntas. Serviu para decidir onde voltar no resto da semana. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Venecia.

Vale cada centavo
Excelente do início ao fim. Só Walking já justifica o passeio. O guia fez a diferença, dava para ver que ele ama o que faz. Se voltarmos a Buenos Aires, repetimos.
