Venice: Highlights & Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour｜Italy

Meet your guide at the San Zaccaria waterfront monument and leave the tourist tracks behind to dive into the authentic, winding backstreets of the Serenissima.

Stroll down Ruga Giuffa into the sunlit expanse of Campo Santa Maria Formosa, a historic square rich in local heritage. Next, weave through San Lio to arrive at Campo San Bartolomeo, the energetic hub at the doorstep of the Rialto Bridge.

Slip through the covered archway of Sottoportego del Carbon to see the quiet routes locals use. Continue past San Luca to find Bacino Orseolo, a photogenic hidden basin where rows of traditional black gondolas bob in the water.

Your express stroll reaches its climax as you enter the monumental expanse of St. Mark's Square. Finish your experience with a short, exclusive visit to a nearby workshop to admire authentic, hand-blown Murano glass art.
