This two-hour walking tour in Venice begins at Piazza San Marco, the main square known for its historic significance. The guide leads the group through several notable locations, including Campo Santa Maria Formosa, one of the largest squares in the city, and Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, often called the "Pantheon of Venice." The tour continues toward the Rialto area, where participants see the famous Rialto Bridge. Along the route, the guide points out the Casa di Marco Polo, a building believed to be the explorer’s former home, marked by a white plaque and currently used as a theater. The group enters a Venetian palace to view a real gondola and a handcrafted oar. This stop includes a virtual reality experience simulating a gondola ride along the Grand Canal, presenting Venice’s past life and traditions. The tour also includes a break for a spritz drink at a local bacaro bar, allowing participants to enjoy this typical Venetian beverage like a local. The tour is shared and led by a qualified and experienced guide. An optional shared gondola ride is available for those who choose to add it. Food, drinks other than the spritz, entrance fees, and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. Comfortable shoes are recommended. The tour does not operate during exceptional high tide; in such cases, it can be postponed or refunded. Participants should arrive at the meeting point five minutes before the scheduled departure time.
