Discover the side of Venice that many visitors don’t see on a leisurely paced, 2 hours walking tour, packed with historical anecdotes, quirky stories and little-known facts. With a local guide, knowledgeable about Venice’s past, you'll explore the Rialto Market and San Polo neighborhoods and you'll enjoy a true taste of Italy with some Cicchetti (Venetian tapas) and a glass of wine at a local osteria.

Our guide was Giulia Tamai and she was excellent!! She had many stories and antidotes about the market and Venice. The tour was not rushed and my husband and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. I would recommend this tour for anyone who would like to know more about the Rialto market and Venice.

We just had one day in Venice so this was the perfect way to see more than just the main tourist attractions. Christina is really passionate about her city (rightly so!) and gave us an insight into it's history and what it's like to live there taking us to parts of Venice we would never have discovered on our own. With food, wine, a gondola ride and a spectacular view to top it off we couldn't have asked for more thank you Monica and Christina! :)

We really enjoyed four hours away from the bustle of St. Mark's Square! We traveled many small streets to learn more history and how Venetians live today. Our guide was Cristina Pigozzo and she was absolutely fabulous- she is a Venetian, proud of her city, enthusiastic, funny and knowledgeable.

Our Guide, Cristina, was excellent, with a nice balance of history and insider tips ("no Venetian ever buys this kind of spice, rather they ket this other"). A good length for a hot day, with a nice finish of wine and cicchetti.

This ended up being a private tour as our group of 4 were the only ones. The guide was really informative and entertaining. We loved the market place. The glass of wine and selection of 2 nibbles each at the end was a nice finish to tour.

My wife and I loved this tour! It ended up being just the two of us and our tour guide Georgia. You could tell she loves what she does and loves Venice and wants to share it with others. She took us to places we never would have found by ourselves.

Great way to see a different side to Venice. We had a group of 4 which was great. Very informative. Enjoyed it. Worth doing.

The walkabout was interesting but felt more fun could have been had with the Cicchetti and wine. Only one stop for this as opposed to what seemed should have been multiple stops.

With only 3 days in Venice and being seasoned travellers, we opted for something a little less touristy. Very difficult in a city that is virtually wall to wall tourists. Had a very good fortune to meet Cristina at exactly the spot indicated on the instruction. This day were a smaller group only 6 guests, so Cristina got to know us on a first name basis making us feel we were on a private tour. Over the next 4 hours our guide demystified and painted a fascinating picture of Venice, it's people, it's history, and it's status as a city that's a living museum. Highly recommend this tour and more importantly Cristina who really made this special.
