Description
if this is your first time in Venice, there are certain things that you need to now. First of all: Venice is a fish ;) In this tour I will tell you everything about the City and why in the first place people wanted to live on the water. I will guide you around the different "Sestieri" and "campi". We will learn a little bit of every aspect of Venice, from how to move around the little streets to where we buy our fish. I will tell you about my life here, as a Venetian mom, the surviving acts that we use today and what was used in the medieval age. What to eat and where, but especially, what to drink it's something that only a real local can tell. Remember, there is so much more than Aperol spritz.
