Things to do in Venice, Veneto: The Best Sightseeing Tours

This tour is a compromise between an informative walk and a gastronomic tour. I will take you to 3 different "bacari" where you will taste a glass of wine (or non-alcoholic drink) and a shot at each bar. At the same time I will show you a more authentic and less touristy Venice, we will see a court with a legendary history, a particular bridge that is out of time, I will tell you anecdotes and curiosities about this wonderful city ... and much more! Venice is a magical city, so don't be surprised by what we'll see, because only in Venice can it happen ...

Inclusions: We will stop in three different bacari: in each bacaro you will be offered a typical Venetian shot and a glass of wine (or non-alcoholic drink)

Hello everyone, I would like to offer you a unique experience to explore the hidden gems and secrets of the Venetian lagoon. We will start the trip in one of the most authentic quarters (“sestiere”) of Venice in Cannaregio. You will have the chance to see a local marina and from there we will head towards "Canale Grande" passing tiny canals on our way. You will enjoy amazing views on “Ponte di Rialto”, “Ponte dell’Accademia”, "Chiesa di Santa Maria della Salute", "Piazza San Marco" and the famous "Palazzo Ducale" before we are heading to the island of Certosa. While enyoing a marvelous sunset you will be sipping a glass (more more) of delicious local Prosecco. Are you ready to create your magical moment? At the end of the tour I will drop you off directly at Rialto bridge. Looking forward to showing you the lagoon, Mike
