About this activity
Why Book with Us?
Venice is one of the most alluring destinations in Italy. There are so many marvelous things to see! If you only have a day or two, prioritizing what to do in Venice can be a true challenge. That’s not the only issue! Venice’s unique architecture, history, and traditions attract millions of visitors each year. Hence, it gets crowded, especially during peak travel seasons. The second challenge is gaining a comfortable access to the popular attractions.
Purchasing the Venice Walking Tour with us answers both problems. It gives you a wholesome introduction to the city’s history, landmarks, and curiosities. Furthermore, our knowledgeable guides are always ready to answer all your questions and share with you local tips and secrets.
In addition to the holistic intake of the city, we can guarantee you a skip-the-line access to Doge’s Palace which will save you good two hours of impatient queuing. Also, the Doge’ Palace tickets will grant you access to the nearby Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Museo Archeologico Nazionale, and Museo Correr. You are free to explore these museums after the tour is over at your own pace; you can even visit them the next day. So, just relax and let us give an introduction Venice deserves!
History Sneak Peak
Venice is unique not just by Italian but also international standards. The legendary floating city we know and love today was once just a marshy lagoon scarcely inhabited by fishermen. Actually, nothing much happened around there until the 5th century AD. The islands, excluded from the mainland, became particularly appealing during Attila’s barbaric invasions of Italy. The lagoon turned into a haven and soon grew into the lively settlement. Its name comes from the Veneti people who occupied the present-day Veneto region.
Thanks to its particularly strategic naval position, Venice became a bustling commercial and trading hub. In particular, the city thrived from the import of exotic species and silk from the rich and mysterious Orient.
Venice doesn’t stand out only for its peculiar architecture but also for having had a political system way ahead of its time. Venice was a republic with that elected its Doge (leader) for a pre-set period of time since the 7th century when most of the European nations had ruling monarchs.
