Private Tour: Beyond Saint Mark's Square Hidden Venice Walking Tour

Meet your guide at the Rialto Bridge, one of Venice's most famous attractions, to begin a tour of its less-visited sights. Even in a small city like Venice, there are still areas that most people never see.

Walk through the lovely Campo Santa Maria Formosa to admire the interesting masks on the facade on the church overlooking the square. Visit the Librera Acqua Alta (if it's open) to see the clever way books are stored in a city that is often flooded.

Stroll through the area around the famous St. Mark's Basilica to reach the circular Bovolo Staircase, sometimes called the snail's staircase because of its shape. Climb to the top of the stair for wonderful views over the city.
