You will admire among others the house of Mozart, the opera La Fenice, the imposing Grand Canal with the Peggy Guggenheim collection, the basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, the basin of Piazza San Marco and the island of San Giorgio.
Let yourself be carried away by the rustle of the gondola which takes you through the picturesque labyrinth of the canals of Venice. You will be immersed in the heart of the history of the city of the Doges, in an atmosphere that is both mysterious and romantic.
During the walking tour, your guide will tell you (in Italian, French and English) the fascinating history of gondolas and gondoliers. At the end of the visit, you will be given a small gift in the form of a QR code to download a city map with 2D images of Venice from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.
