This tour begins in the magnificent St. Mark’s Square (Piazza di San Marco), where you will meet your expert, local guide. From here, your guide will usher you away from the crowds and into the elegant Castello neighborhood, where you will traverse some of Venice’s most charming alleys, bridges, and canal-side walkways.

Here, you will pass such sites as the former residence of Marco Polo, the Malibran Theater, and historic, picturesque squares, such as Campo Santa Maria Formosa and Campo San Giovanni & Paolo. As you wind your way through the city’s labyrinthian streets, your guide will share with you accounts of Venice’s architectural development, fascinating historical facts, and the cultural influences that have shaped the modern Venetian lifestyle.
As your tour comes to an end, your guide will lead you through Le Mercerie–-perhaps the most famous shopping center in Venice—and back to St. Mark’s Square.
