Walking Tours

The classic Venice

Venice highlights

W01 - IN THE HEART OF VENICE
Saint Mark Square between the Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, then a walk to Rialto through the hidden “calli” (narrow streets)

The heart of Venice is a square: Saint Mark’s Square. Entering by the two monumental columns in front of the lagoon (the so-called “water square”), near the Bridge of Sighs, suddenly we can admire the history of the Republic of Venice displayed: we can see the Doge’s Palace, the seat of government and center of political and administrative life of the city, the Basilica, with its golden mosaics and precious marbles, the Procuratie, location of the oldest and luxurious cafeteria, and moreover the Clock Tower and the Bell Tower. The walk then leads to the Grand Canal and the famous Rialto Bridge through beautiful and hidden corners, which allow you to admire the beautiful Theater La Fenice and the Bovolo Staircase, the Mercerie street with its luxurious boutiques, but also the characteristic Campo Santa Maria Formosa.

Duration: 2h
Price per person (minimum of 4 people): 80,00 €

W02 - MONUMENTAL INTERIORS
Saint Mark Square and the interiors of the Doge’s Palace and the Basilica

So-called the “most beautiful lounge in the world”, Saint Mark’s Square with its monuments, colors, and perspectives, is the background of the beautiful interior of the Doge’s Palace, where you can visit the grandiose halls of government with the important artworks representative of the glories of the Republic of Venice, the charming residence of the Doge, the solemn halls where justice was administered and the Bridge of Sighs, through which you can reach the fearful state prisons. Then we move to the nearby Saint Mark’s Basilica, which is like an ancient jewel case of beautiful treasures, but also the most important and loved church in Venice, covered inside by thousands of square feet of shiny mosaics. The oriental aspect of the architecture testifies the deep ties between Venice and Byzantium.
On request we can organize a visit to the Secret Itineraries of the Doge’s Palace.

Maria dei Miracoli, you’ll go back in time looking for curiosities about the relationship between Venice and the German Empire, you’ll admire the magnificent Chiesa dei Gesuiti, and the Lagoon panorama.

RIALTO
Rialto, S.Aponal, S.Maria Mater Domini, S.Giacomo da l’Orio

Rialto was the heart of the economic power of Venice, as the story of this merchant city rose essentially around the Rialto market.
This route starts from “Rialto” and ends at the Railway Station. You will go back to those times when this city was a unique place in the world. In Campo San Giacomo you’ll breathe a calm and undisturbed folk atmosphere, with its benches under the trees and children playing all around.

GIUDECCA
S.Eufemia, SS. Cosma e Damiano, Redentore, Zitelle, S.Giorgio Maggiore

Giudecca is the isle south of the city. Once rich in gardens and looms, an industrial center in the XIX century, nowadays it’s relaxing and calm, away from the hectic life of tourists in the city center. The isle is well-known thanks to the Chiesa del Redentore, but there are plenty of reasons why it’s worth a visit: the panorama embracing the whole of Venice, its peaceful courts with people meeting for a chat by the doorstep. The visit ends up in Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, from whose tower the view is sometimes better than from San Marco’s.

CASTELLO – SAN PIETRO
Giardini, S.Giuseppe, S.Pietro, Arsenale, S.Martino

Castello is the eastern district of Venice. It’s the city’s most “true” area, the unchanged side of ancient Venetian life.

CASTELLO – SAN FRANCESCO
Arsenale, S.Giovanni del Tempio, S.Giorgio dei Greci, S.Francesco della Vigna

Castello is the eastern district of Venice. It’s the most authentic area of the city where you can see the unchanged life of Venetians.
The route, from “Arsenale” to “Celestia”, will make you discover the relationships between Venetians and the foreign communities, among others the Greek one, but also the ancient connection with the Order of Knights of Malta, which is still alive.
