"We had a lovely gondola tour with Roberto. He is knowledgeable about Venice and in addition to the tour, he gave us recommendations for restaurants and other sites to see while we were there.
The withlocals platform and app were confusing to navigate, and it would be impossible to use the service without the app, which I didn’t know when I signed up. "
"The gondola ride in Venice was really lovely. I recommend doing it in the evening when it is much quieter than during the day. Romy was such a lovely guide and very accommodating. She gave us a local's perspective that we wouldn't have had if we had done this on our own. Thank you Romy for a lovely evening on the canals of Venice."
"Lucrezia was very professional, knowledgeable and really showed her love for Venice! We discovered many things with her and can’t thank her enough for her time with us! "
"Elisabetta is a native of Venice and very knowledgeable. The walk with her was enjoyable and informative. Her English is very good and she answered each question completely. I would highly recommend the sunrise walk. You see all the beauty of Venice without the crowds."
"Marina was a highlight of our 'A Taste of Venice: Rialto’s Market & Bites Tour'. Marina made the food and drink of Venice come alive. We were spoilt.23"
"I think what would have been a wonderful but sleepy gondola ride was made 500% more enjoyable with Valerio as our guide. Lots of humor, knowledge, and just all around enjoyable, this is the way to do a gondola ride in Venice. "
"We loved seeing Venice before it got busy. I’m not a morning person, but the experience was worth waking up early for. We made a quick stop for coffee. Simply walking with a local got us oriented and we felt comfortable tackling the city on our own afterwards. "
Feel the soul of Venice at the iconic Rialto Bridge. More than just a crossing, the Rialto is a world of history, vibrant markets, and local secrets waiting to be discovered on a private Rialto tour.
The Rich History of the Rialto Bridge
From a humble pontoon to a magnificent stone arch completed in 1591, the Rialto Bridge has been the bustling commercial heart of Venice for centuries. Imagine the merchants and moneylenders of the past!
Culture & Life at the Rialto Market
Just steps from the bridge, the Rialto Market is a vibrant explosion of color, sound, and flavor. For over 700 years, this is where Venetians have come for fresh fish, produce, and local gossip.
Taste of Venice: Food & Drink at the Rialto
To truly experience the Rialto area, do as the locals do! Duck into a tiny 'bacaro' (wine bar) for some 'cicchetti' (Venetian tapas) and a glass of Prosecco. It's an authentic taste of Venice.
The Architectural Marvel of the Rialto
The single-span design by Antonio da Ponte was a daring feat of 16th-century engineering. Critics at the time predicted its collapse, but the iconic Rialto Bridge proudly stands as a symbol of Venetian ingenuity.
Shakespeare and the Famous Rialto Bridge
"What news on the Rialto?" This famous line from Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" cemented the bridge's global fame as a center for commerce and information. Walk in the footsteps of literary history.
