The real secret of discovering Venice is finding someone who knows and understands the myriad of
historical and religious connections that created and then
ultimately destroyed Venice
as a world power. That
secret is Venicescapes!
Our walking tour experiences in Venice were simply
awesome! The excellent organization Venicescapes made the
complex and heretofore unfamiliar history of Venice engaging

tour did.

stimulating exchange that more than matched my expectations.
The guide's knowledge of history seemed boundless, and his
insights on politics, economics, and
religion were fascinating. [...] He truly had an uncanny
ability to tie all aspects together and paint a comprehensive
picture of Venice....
