Why take this tour?

Start your day experiencing Venice like a local. Discover the real heart of the city when the city is just beginning to stir.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and on this tour, you will certainly explore the tourist hotspots before the crowds awaken. Not only will you see Venetian's famous canals, squares, and landmarks, but you will also see the millenary trade centre come alive before throngs of tourists flock to the centre.

From Rialto market to Cannaregio district, you will escape the tourist traps and venture through authentic Venice. Watch fisherman at work as they prepare and cut Venetian squid, and observe the slicing of artichoke before they are sold at food markets. Be sure to ask your private guide for a local espresso recommendation for a burst of caffeine before you commence your tour!
