JOIN A GUIDED VENICE WALKING TOUR & DISCOVER ITS ENCHANTING SECRETS

Venice in Northern Italy is often referred to as the “City of Canals” or the “Queen of the Adriatic,” is unlike any other place on Earth (no Venice in Vegas is never an option!)

While we’re not raving fans of Venice, we do think it should be on every traveler’s bucket list, simply because it is so unique with a long history worth learning about.

The Venice Walking Tour Itinerary

If you’re wondering what a walking tour experience of the floating city is like, here’s where our three hour guided tour took us:

Rialto Neighborhood: Venice’s First

The Rialto Bridge

As a central crossing point, it has always played a vital role in the daily functioning of the Republic of Venice.

Apollo Bay, Great Ocean Road

Wandering the Alleyways

If you have more time in Venice, it’s worth exploring to appreciate life in Venice beyond the top tourist attractions.
