Corners of Venice little seen by tourists finding unique spots. I have carefully selected the best hidden calli and paths that lead to what we call the hidden jewels.

I will unveil the secrets of the construction of the city and we will discover secret stories of some unique Venetian “palazzi” such as the Peggy Guggenheim’s house, the beautiful Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, Ca’ Dario and Punta della Dogana. We will see the “squero”: the gondole yard where Venetian still make and restore their gondole and you will get to know everything about gondoliers and their traditions.

We will discover the largest painting on canvas of the world, we will see the strange "empty" palazzo, marvellous "masks" decorating our buildings, the incredible bridge of fists, an unbreathing view of the Gran Canal and much more..
