Description

Join our Hidden Venice tour to venture off the beaten path! Let’s get away from the crowd to discover picturesque corners, gems, and treasures, and also an interesting insight into Venice's past and present life (high tides and floods, food and drink culture, Carnival masks are just a few of the topics covered).

While the many secrets, stories, and curiosities that are behind this lesser-known part of Venice are unveiled, you’ll breathe the atmosphere of the authentic local life walking along the peaceful alleys of Cannaregio, one of the most charming areas of Venice.
From Campo San Geremia to Campo della Maddalena, the tour enters a hidden part of Venice, allowing you to discover some beautiful gems and treasures (such as the statues of Rioba and the Moors and the breathtaking Church of Madonna dell’Orto) along with an amazing view over the northern lagoon. The tour ends in Campo de l’Abazia.

The tour covers the central and western areas of Cannaregio in northern Venice. At the end, you’ll receive insider tips to make your stay in Venice easy and truly enjoyable!

Hidden Gems of Venice

Loved it!

Cecilia Prikoszovits · November 2026

Why you should not book this tour

If you don't like interesting facts, the quieter non-touristic side of Venice and a lovely guide, this will most definitely not be the tour for you. :-) All jokes aside, Laura was an amazing guide. You could feel her natural love and enthusiasm for Venice through the way she explained and showed everything, and while exploring a quiter side of Venice (the title hidden gems could not have been more accurate), she teaches you all sorts of knowledge about Venice in general. We genuinely felt like we learned something and kept coming back to little facts throughout the rest of our trip. On top of her excellent guiding skills, Laura is an incredibly kind and funny person, really listening to her audience and actually making them feel like a part of the tour. And her English is really good as well. Can not recommend this tour enough, grazie Laura for the wonderful experience!

Hidden secrets tour with Laura

The tour was amazing!!! We really loved it. Laura is super welcoming and knows so much about the history of Venice. You can tell she really loves her city and wants to share her love with the people taking the tour. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to find out more about the less known history of the city!!!
