OFFICIAL PATRONAGE
VENICE BOARD OF TOURISM

 

 

For a culturally enriching, private historical tour of Venice and an educational experience unlike any other, choose a leading expert to guide you through the world's most extraordinary city and help you unlock its inner secrets.

No where else will you find refreshingly innovative guided tours conceived exclusively for the inquisitive traveler who truly wants to understand the birth, development, and world-wide influence of Venice while walking through the city and enjoying its unique lifestyle, culture, art, and architecture.

Together, we'll stroll the quieter streets and discover just how and why Venice grew and changed over its long and eventful history, how it lives and works today, and what its unique contributions have been to the evolution of Western Civilization.

Along the way, we'll visit hidden treasures of the city that are closed to the general public; tour world-renowned landmarks, private homes, and simple artisan workshops; and see incomparable artistic and architectural masterpieces but in a way that will give them unexpected new meaning and life and change forever your way of looking at Venice.
