Description

See the real Venice beyond the crowds!
This tour takes you through Castello and Cannaregio, two authentic districts where Venice is still inhabited by locals. Away from the main tourist routes, you’ll explore quiet canals, hidden courtyards, and residential streets full of everyday life.

We are a team of Venice-based local guides. We don’t just visit the city—we live here. Our goal is to show you Venice as it really is: layered, quiet, and full of stories that most visitors miss.

During the walk, we’ll share:

* Local history explained in a clear, engaging way
* Stories of Venice beyond the postcards
* Everyday life, traditions, and culture
* Practical local tips (food, areas, hidden spots)

No heavy lectures. No rushed sightseeing. Just a direct, human experience of the city.

Fantastic Tour

Had a really fascinating and informative tour around the North of Venice. Despite it being a little chilly and windy, we meandered around the streets learning wonderful facts about the area along the way. It was also great how passionate our guide was about sustainable tourism- as a group of 25 people on the tour, I was pleasantly surprised how little we seemed to intrude on the public space. Definitely recommend. ❤️

Great tour to get to know Venice better

We had a great tour with lots of background information. Alice explained everything very good and we learned new things about this beautiful city, although it was not our first time here. Thank you.

Northern Venice neighbourhoods

I enjoyed the tour today and our guide Alina (sp?) was very informative, enthusiastic and spoke excellent English. I would like to have learned a little more about the neighbourhood(s) we visited though, given that was the title of the tour.
