Why take this tour?

Discover the beautiful history of La Serenissima in this immersive introduction to Venice! We’ll be exploring this city of no roads, no cars, but well over 400 bridges and at least 150 canals. 

Narrated by a local historian, this Venetian walk is all about uncovering the backstories of the most iconic architecture, secret tales and history, as you experience Venice like a local.

We’ll walk through the mesmerising Palazzo Ducale, learn about the Basilica di San Marco, stroll around the Rialto Bridge, browse around the charming Mercato di Rialto, admire the oldest church in Venice in Campo San Giacomo, and visit plenty of other captivating sites.

About operator:

Too many people visit places without discovering anything about them. And we can’t let that happen.


We believe that the true essence of travelling lies in the joy of discovering the authentic face of cities, neighbourhood and cultural sites, and unlocking the many tales they hold.


With that spirit in our hearts, we started out in search of these stories hidden in the nooks and corners of Paris, London, Cambridge and Oxford's most iconic spots. We then dived into each place’s culture, history, and traditions by collaborating with historians, famous architects, photographers, street artists, and many more. What we ended up finding was a treasure trove of stories that we have meticulously tied together just for you!


But how to deliver this information? We didn’t want to create another Wikipedia, with people looking at their phones instead of the sites. And let’s face it, audioguides and headsets belong to the 20th century.. This is why we’ve created our own storytelling format. Podcast-style tours, enriched with photos and videos, that keep you wanting more.


Our goal is to create a form of travel that will make you truly discover the places you visit.
