Tour of Venice between Art, History, Legend and Secrets

You will live an experience considered unique by anyone so far. A Venetian lives it every day but without stopping where we would to discover treasures that most tourists will never see. We will discover secrets and see beautiful and hidden places for example the House where Marco Polo was born or the Marian Sanctuary of S. Giovanni Crisostomo with priceless works by Giovanni Bellini and Tullio Lombardo Churches with instruments in common use today such as the cello but invented in Venice. Naturally, Rialto and S. Marco will not be missing but you will be very impressed by what you will discover with my tour. In Venice women were emancipated and already in the year 1000 AD they were voting and for this reason they became famous from that moment on. And let's not forget libertine Venice. Stories of magic, witches and ghosts. I don't want to reveal too much but I will surprise you with an experience that will push you to appreciate this unique city of Venice even more.
