Venice Legends & Mysteries Free Tour

  • 3,846 reviews | 38,160 travellers
    The guide on the Venice Legends Tour is very good, but it is not free as advertised. She says that there is a minimum contribution of 5 euros per person. At the end, everyone pays.

Description

At the designated time, we'll meet at the steps of San Simeone Piccolo Church, near Santa Lucia station. We'll kick off our free tour of the legends and mysteries of Venice with a stroll along the banks of the Grand Canal.

We'll stop in some of the most beautiful squares in Venice as we make our way to the Cannaregio neighbourhood, which is the oldest neighbourhood in the city. 

Afterwards, we'll head to the Venetian Ghetto. The Jewish population was forced by the Venetian Republic to live in this part of Cannaregio, from the early 16th to the end of the 18th century. While walking through this part of Venice, we'll discuss the history of the buildings we come across. 

You'll also see how the locals live as we wander through residential areas rarely frequented by tourists and learn about local legends. 

After a total of 2 hours, our free tour will finish near the famous Rialto Bridge.

Groups

This free tour cannot accommodate groups of 6 or more, even if you reserve the tour in smaller groups over various reservations. If you're traveling in a group of 6 or more, please book a private tour of Venice.
