Enjoy exploring a lesser-known side of Venice as you venture through its myths and mysteries on this private evening walking tour.

 On your private 2-hour tour, you will:
-Explore Venice in the evening, at its quietest and most mysterious, as your guide expertly navigates you through winding alleys and dimly lit squares;
-Hear dark the story of Biasio the Buther of Venice, a murderer who cooked his victims in soups to hide their corpses;
-Walk past the Anatomy Theatre of Venice, which opened in 1671 and was used to dissect cadavers;
-Learn of the bull hunting games and Venice Carnival in Campo San Polo, one of the most popular carnival locations;
-Explore the Castelletto area, the ancient Venetian Red Light District;
-Get acquainted with the real stories and legends surrounding Giacomo Casanova, an Italian adventurer known as the most famous lover in history who escaped from prison multiple times;
-See several of the city’s highlights, including the Rialto Bridge that crosses the Grand Canal, the largest and most famous canal in Venice that separates the city in half;
-Hear tales of the Ghost of the Rialto Bridge and a ghostly pet that roams St. Mark's Square;
-End your tour in St. Mark’s Square, as you take in the magnificent play of lights of the Piazza at night, truly a magical experience;

This tour takes you off the beaten path, into the shadier stories of the city's legendary past, even as you explore several of the city’s highlights, like the Campo San Polo, Rialto Bridge, St Mark’s Square, and the Grand Canal, along with other spots off-the-beaten-track, including the Venetian red light district.

Along your tour, you will uncover answers to questions like: where did the hangman live? Who was the Biasio of Venice? Who was Casanova? Where are the ghosts' palaces, and who was the Doctor of the Plague? On your night out, your guide will be sure that you do not find yourself lost in the hidden mazes of the city.

Though we can't give away many details regarding this mysterious tour, we can say with certainty that it is riddled with excitement and intrigue, and is a great way to explore the city outside the heat of the day with a private guide!
