Unusual tours with a private guide in Venice

An authorised guide is full of resources! I have prepared some extra-ordinary tours for guests that are looking for unusual experiences in Venice and for unconventional private walking tours… 

Let’s start from history. Venice was one of the greatest marine powers in the Mediterranean Sea in the Middle Ages. Its naval force was unrivalled. Visit the entrance of the Arsenale, the old official shipyard of Venice. No place suggests Venice’s superpower like the Arsenal.

Let’s continue with art. There are some places in Venice where most of visitors do not go, though they are unmissable. The Church of San Giovanni in Bragora (where Vivaldi was baptised and where there is a Renaissance altarpiece by Cima da Conegliano) or the Scuola dei Dalmati (where some hidden treasures by Carpaccio are still in situ) are only some of them.

Let’s go on with shopping. I know some of the best art galleries, some of the oldest Murano glass factories, some bead producers and lots of mask decorators…

Let’s conclude with food! Let me take you to a typical Venetian bacaro, a wine bar. Let’s order some ciccheti and let’s chat as all of us do when meeting with friends. Try our typical drink (spritz and Bellini, for instance) and let me show you how locals live in these century-old places.
