Venice can be unmanageably crowded by day—but if you set off after dark, you'll experience a totally different, and more peaceful, side of the city. Meet your Venetian guide at a convenient, central location, and set off with just a small group of fellow travelers for company. Head off the tourist trail, and see how locals live, when you explore the Cannaregio and Jewish Ghetto neighborhoods. Then, enjoy a classic osteria meal (own expense).

Venice’s residential neighbourhoods tell stories that tourists often miss. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll journey from the historic Jewish Ghetto to Antonio Vivaldi’s birthplace. You’ll encounter Renaissance master Tintoretto’s home and works, and explore the trading empire around the Rialto Bridge. You’ll also trace Antonio Vivaldi’s legacy, and find out how his music was nearly lost before its rediscovery in the 1900s. The tour starts at Ponte delle Guglie, a bridge from the 1200s spanning the Cannaregio Canal. You’ll walk through the Venetian Jewish Ghetto, established in 1516 as Europe’s first designated ghetto, and see hidden synagogues and distinctive tall buildings that reflect centuries of enclosed life. You’ll wind through artisan streets toward the Rialto, and explore the neighbourhood where Marco Polo grew up before setting off for Asia. The tour ends at the Church of San Giovanni in Bragora, where Vivaldi was baptised in 1678 and his music still resonates today.

Escape the crowds and uncover the real Venice on this small-group walking tour through the city’s most authentic districts. Wander quiet canals, cross hidden bridges, and discover stories even many Venetians don’t know—all with a knowledgeable local guide. While most visitors stick to Venice’s main attractions, this tour takes you off the beaten path into Cannaregio, the Jewish Ghetto, and San Polo, where daily life still unfolds much as it has for centuries. Along the way, you’ll explore artisan workshops, historic churches, and tucked-away landmarks rich with history and local lore. With a maximum of 15 guests (or a private option if selected), this tour offers a relaxed pace and plenty of time to ask questions and interact with your guide.
