Wonderful family walking tour full of fascinating history and science. Denise did a great job telling us stories in a way that worked well for both grandparents and grandchildren.

Our favorite tour in Italy!

Out of all the tours we did in Italy, this was probably our favorite. Denise was a great guide and had a way of explaining the history in an interesting and engaging way that never lost our interest. Plus we wound through the back streets that we never would have ventured to seeing way more than we would have. This is completely different than the major sites tour and we got information about Venice that we would have never known. Highly recommend to add this to your first day!

Excellent introduction to the city and its society

The greatest value in this walking introduction to Venice is its guide: Denise is a Venetian native (one of the few remaining on the island) whose admiration of the island’s old republic and pride in her Venetian heritage shine through in the passion with which she enthusiastically shares her knowledge of Venice’s societal and architectural history. Despite all the glam of this city, it’s heavy orientation towards tourism has driven out many Venetians from the island whose families have been here for generations. The risk is high of seeing a gilded Venice (much like their famous carnival masks) without seeing the real face of the city. With this tour, Denise offers you the opportunity to look through that gilded mask with Venetian eyes. A great tour for anyone wanting an introduction to the real Venice that has attracted travellers for centuries (and not the so-called Venice of overpriced shops and tourist traps).
