Why you should go
This combo will take you into the heart of Venice and its symbol: the Doge's Palace
The tour is divided into two parts and it will take us to discover the places and history of the Venice of the Doges.
First, a walking tour which will make us wander (and wonder) along the beauties of Venice and its peaceful channels.
Our experienced guide will take us to discover the hidden corners and let us learn interesting facts about life in a city of water, as well as about Venice's past.
Once left the most crowded streets (called "calli"), we will enjoy the piece of a more hidden Venice. The one which sees gondola silently slide on the green canals, or Venetian people during their everyday life. Yes, because the people are still the heart of this city which seems to exist suspended between imagination and reality.
In the second part of the tour, together with an experienced and qualified tour guide you will visit the Doge’s Palace and the halls of power, immersing yourself in medieval Europe among the stuccoed halls and hundreds of masterpieces.
