VENICE

Venice is really one of a kind.

Don't miss the chance to discover all its secrets trough the eyes of a local authorized guide.

Walking trough its narrow alleys I will lead you to the MUST-SEE attractions but then you will also discover how much this amazing city has to offer.

Off the beaten tracks you can still see the few locals left in town and how they face with the daily problems of a city built on the water more than 1500 years ago.

118 islands and more than 400 bridges are now forming the Venice we can see today but how did the first inhabitants who moved from the mainland decided to settle there? How did they make it?
