Private Venice History and Gastronomy Walking Tour

Enchanting Venice Private Tour: flavors and colors of La Serenissima

Description

Mary Shelley once wrote that Venice is “so different … from any other place in the world, that you leave at once all accustomed habits and everyday sights to enter an enchanted garden”.

Explore, and taste, this unique fairytale city enjoy the exclusive privilege of a Venice Private Tour, led by a dedicated private knowledgeable guide all for yourself, and your family or party of friends.

Our signature Venice Private Tour will take you over the bridges, into the evocative alleys and along the canals to admire dazzling marble palaces, arcades and domes built on, in, a lagoon. After all, Venice is but a network of tiny islands connected by land and water, without wheeled traffic, with “main streets” made of water and the main means of transport boats… it’s almost unbelievable!

And, during the day, you will enjoy the rare chance to join the locals in their favorite cafés and markets, for a taste of delicious local specialties, sip of local wines and an insider's view of Venetian lifestyle!

Meet your guide and set off to marvel at the treasures, breathe in the uniquely exotic atmosphere of one of the most romantic and amazing cities in the world. Our enlightening Venice Private Tour allows you to learn about the city’s dramatic and eventful history, and catch unexpected awe-inspiring views, led by a charismatic private guide.

Admire sumptuous St Mark’s Square, framed by the arcaded Procuratie building and Correr Museum and topped off by the exotic-looking polychrome domes of the majestic St Mark’s Basilica. See the Doge’s Palace, Palazzo Ducale, which anciently housed the Venetian government, Palace of Justice and eerie dungeons, as well as the Doge’s own apartments.

Follow your guide to the world-celebrated Bridge of Sighs, admire it  and hear the sad history behind its name.

Take a few breaks along the way to step into the charming little joints and cafès, for a drink and taste of traditional fare: the famous Venetian cicchetti, typical “tapas-like” morsels and snacks made with fresh local products!
