Libertine & Lavish Venice Private Tour
Explore the St.Mark's district, enjoying the atmosphere of the decadent and libertine Venice!
This is the ideal tour for those who would like to get a taste of the Venetian lifestyle and atmosphere during the heyday of the Venetian Republic: the 17th and 18th centuries. We will explore 2 of the 6 districts, immersing ourselves in some details of the Venetian traditions, unveiling secrets and anecdotes about some of the most famous Venetian characters, such as Giacomo Casanova. We'll walk in the most dangerous Venetian "calle" and we'll discover the hidden symbols of one of the most ancients guilds in town. Last but not least we'll dive into the charming story of the most wonderful Opera House in town: La Fenice.
Finally we will go back in time, visiting the former public Casinò of Venice, where the nobles, including Casanova, used to gamble from dusk to dawn!
