Free Tour The Wonders of Venice

Venice, the city of canals, is one of the most visited in Italy. However, all tourists concentrate around the same monuments. If what you desire is to come into contact with local culture and discover the areas that go unnoticed by tourists, this is your free tour.

In this Free Tour, you will explore with an expert guide the places that escape the tourist in the neighborhoods of Santa Croce, San Polo, and Dorsoduro. Starting at the church of San Simeon Piccolo in the Santa Croce neighborhood, you will head to the Grand Canal. On the banks of the city's main waterway, you will discover why this city was built on a lagoon and how it was affected by the Black Plague. This will also be the perfect place to talk about the history of carnivals, masks, and the libertine Venice of the 18th century.

Afterward, you will walk to the Campo di San Paolo, where the guide will recommend places to taste the typical Venetian cuisine: cicchetti, prosecco, and spritz. Additionally, we will stop at lesser-known locations that have served as the setting for movies like Indiana Jones or 007 Casino Royale. The next stop will be a squero, a gondola repair and manufacturing workshop. Finally, you will reach the stunning neighborhood of Dorsoduro, where you will finish the tour at the Galleria dell'Accademia and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, where some hidden stories of the neighborhood will be revealed.
