Description

Discover Venice's hidden gems on a guided walking tour. Admire the Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli, visit the Libreria Acqua Alta and capture the Bridge of Sighs from a unique angle.
Step away from the crowds and step into the postcard. Designed for photography lovers, history buffs and curious travelers, this immersive walking tour takes you beyond the usual tourist trails into the romantic, labyrinthine side streets of Venice.

Begin right at the edge of Saint Mark’s Square, bypass the usual crowded landmarks, and dive into the authentic, atmospheric heart of the city—where grand history and breathtaking photo opportunities meet.

Avoid the crowd on the main bridge and let your guide show you one of the most stunning, picture-perfect spots to capture the beauty of the Bridge of Sighs.

Visit one of the most unique bookstores in the world, Libreria Acqua Alta, and capture a gondola, bathtubs and boats filled to the brim with books with your camera before climbing the famed staircase made entirely of old encyclopedias.

Stop by a picture-perfect, quiet canal that has served as a backdrop for cinematic history in movies like Spider-Man and Mission Impossible.

Marvel at the breathtaking, trompe-l'œil marble facade of the Scuola Grande di San Marco, an ancient confraternity building. Capture its magnificent architecture while learning about Venice’s guilds.

Test your spatial awareness at Venice’s tightest squeeze—a lane measuring just 53 cm (21 inches) wide - and learn about the construction of the city. It’s a fun, quirky stop with a fantastic perspective shot for your album.

Discover one of Venice’s most exquisitely decorated churches, the Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli. Admire its polychrome marble façade—a dream backdrop for photography—and hear the fascinating legend of how this masterpiece came to be.

Discover a tucked-away, hidden vantage point offering an unmatched, crowd-free frame of the iconic Rialto Bridge. As you snap your dream shot, learn about its role as a dramatic filming location in the classic James Bond saga.
