From this well-known Venice attraction, walk with your guide through the city’s lesser-known streets, discovering Venice as the locals know it. Your route includes several campos, meaning 'fields' in Italian, which are actually lively Venetian squares and courtyards, surrounded by shops and cafes. Pass through Campo San Polo, the scene of masked balls and bullfighting in bygone times, and Campo San Margherita, the social heart of Venice's trendy Dorsoduro district.

See the Basilica dei Frari, notable for the Venetian Renaissance artwork that is housed within, and pass the grand Scuola Grande di San Rocco building, where many a Venice concert is held. As your walking tour comes to an end, your guide will tell you the story of Peggy Guggenheim, whose impressive modern art collection is housed in the Guggenheim Museum, which you’ll pass.

As the sun sets, your gondolier will punt you through the city aboard a traditional, wooden gondola boat, passing local ladies reeling in their washing lines. With a maximum of six people per gondola, this 40-minute gondola ride is the perfect peaceful end to your tour. For an even more romantic finish to your night, upgrade to a private gondola ride.
