Here’s an overview of your tour
Let me tell you a little secret: in Venice, there's more than meets the eye. Join me on an off the beaten path tour in Venice and discover secret corners, charming gardens and green spaces, incredible symbols hidden in plain sight.
Did you think there are no gardens in Venice? Then, let me surprise you! Life in Venice is very special and unique, and because of that, we have developed a centuries-old sensibility for nature. Come with me and discover beautiful green spaces scattered around the city.
We'll visit places like the Scalzi Church (when available) still partially destroyed by bombs and secret gardens.Follow me and discover incredible secret rooms and corners in the heart of the Cannaregio or Dorsoduro districts. At the moment in 2023 and 2024 the tour will be on the cannaregio district!
I will enrich our walk with beautiful stories and anecdotes, and you will see Venice under a different light.
