Wonderful, bespoke tour of the lesser known parts of Venice. My sons wanted history and intrigue and that’s just what they got! Our wonderful tour guide (Bianca - sp?) delivered with her spooky history and even took us for the legit best gelato I’ve ever had.

This was a great tour, very interesting insight into life in Venice. The content on myths and legends was relatively light touch, the tour focussed more towards life in Venice, but this was more the guide adapting the content to the questions and interest which we were showing. So although the tour was not very “dark side”, the guide (a native of Venice herself) was very entertaining and insightful. We really enjoyed it.

Such a fascinating experience to hear first hand about some of the dark moments in the history of Venice. Our storyteller recounted spectacular anecdotes and wove them into our physical walking tour as we meandered our way through several districts in Venice. Would highly recommend.
