Description
While many walk through Venice fascinated by its beauty imagining its history, we We will delve into the meanders of the streets, sneak among the groups of tourists and Venetians who ignore that in the palm of their hand is a piece of history. You can touch some shiny stones, some worn out points of a column and that's where the history made by the Venetians over the centuries, generation after generation. With this tour you will delve even further into history and together we will travel through alleys, fields and squares, to reveal anecdotes, curiosities and in the end you will feel more Venetian like those who made Venice great. We will start from an easily reachable camp and on foot we will follow the tangle of roads, sometimes we We'll hide in the crowds, other times we'll cross roads less traveled, but in every place you'll be accompanied by your Venetian guide who thanks to the stories handed down by his ancestors will make you discover a unique and genuine Venice.

Beautiful experience
Giovanni is an exceptional companion: nice, affable and attentive, he had an eye especially towards my daughters. He had no problem changing route and showed us an unexpected Venice, although he has been frequenting this city for some time. He avoided the classic tourist spots, revealing instead a passion and an in-depth knowledge (at least for me!) about the lagoon. I highly recommend it especially for those traveling with children and expecting something unusual
Operator response
Gentile Lucia, innanzitutto ti ringrazio per la tua recensione, ma ancor di più sono veramente felice di aver fatto la conoscenza tua e delle tue starordinarie bambine,. Per me è un piacere stimolare la curiosità nei bambini e non c'è piacere più grande di vedere lo stupore nei loro occhi per le scoperte storiche, ovviamente mi piace stimolare la curiostità negli adulti come hai visto. Comunque, cara Lucia, se hai bisogno di qualcosa, non esitare a contattarmi. Fosse anche per un corso di disotruzione pediatrica, essendone istruttore per me sarebbe un onore insegnarti questa semplici ed importantissime pratiche
