Venicescapes' privately guided tours of Venice offer a unique, comprehensive picture of the world's most extraordinary city.  Conceived and developed only after years of meticulously studying the many political, economic, social, and religious forces that came together to create the city, these content-rich walking tours provide scholarly insights and a wealth of fascinating information that simply aren't available in standard guide books or guided tours and give the intellectually curious traveler the unique opportunity to go beyond the clichés and urban legends and discover a Venice of far-reaching historical and cultural relevance.

Each of these guided tours focus on specific themes or eras in Venice's eventful history thus providing the context and perspective necessary not only to enjoy the incomparable artistic and architectural masterpieces to their fullest but to relate the individual sights to one another and to overarching historical trends that will show you Venice’s place and importance in the greater world.  They are consequently the ideal way to explore and understand Venice and will add immense value to every minute of your visit.  Even more, since each walking tour is privately guided in order to favor dialogue and interaction, every sight and point of interest will become a culturally enriching and personal event for you.
