Discover off-the-beaten path spots and unique panoramas in the Southern district of Venice

During this tour you'll enjoy one of the most peaceful and not-touristy districts of the city: Dorsoduro, also known as the art district.

I'll unveil the secrets of the construction of the city and we'll discover the secret stories of some unique Venetian "palazzi", such as Peggy Guggenheim's house and "the Cursed Palace". We will also enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view on St. Mark's Sq. , and the Grand Canal from a unique perspective.

Last but no least, we will discover the only "Squero" in Venice: the gondola yard were Venetians still make and restore their gondolas and you will get to know everything about gondoliers and their traditions.
