Description

Immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of medieval Venice with our walking tour. Step back in time as we guide you through the narrow streets and historic monuments that have witnessed centuries of history. The tour begins in the city center, where once a fortified castle stood instead of the majestic Ducal Palace. From here you will reach the Remedio Bridge, which offers a privileged view of the Bridge of Sighs, also known as the Bridge of Lovers, although it leads to the dark and feared prisons of the Doge. You will explore the narrow streets of Venice, and you will cross different campi and campielli. A sparkling walking tour to discover Venice and its fascinating history through the centuries. Continue your experience with an optional gondola ride discovering Venice from a unique angle: glide under the Bridge of Sighs into the magical San Marco Basin and greet the charming San Giorgio Island. A dream journey awaits! And then, immerse yourself in an extraordinary 3D journey through Venice’s history as you explore the Grand Canal, the city's most beautiful and iconic waterway. With VR headsets, you'll witness the Doge's Palace as a medieval castle, marvel at the Rialto Bridge in its original form as a drawbridge, and experience the vibrant 18th-century Carnival, surrounded by gondolas parading down the canal. This unique experience transports you back in time, offering a magical and authentic perspective of Venice’s past.
