5 audio walks and visits that are indispensable to discover the richness of Venice. Saint Mark’s Square and Saint Mark's Basilica, symbols of the power of Venice. The...

Saint Mark’s Square

Saint Mark'square - About 1h15

This guided visit helps you discover the most celebrated square in Venice, Saint Mark’s Square, as well as the adjacent Piazzetta dei Leoni. There are specific visits dedicated to Saint Mark’s Basilica and to the Doges’ Palace, so this visit does not cover those monuments.

The unusual Dorsoduro of Tintoretto and Veronese

the eastern side of Dorsoduro - About 2 hours

This walk on the lively eastern side of the Dorsoduro quarter takes us along the canals where we can see a gondola factory, discover old artesian wells in addition to great works by Tintoretto and Veronese.

Little-known Dorsoduro and Tiepolo

the western side of Dorsoduro - About 2 hours

The Dorsoduro quarter is a distance away from touristy Venice, and so it has remained a vibrant and picturesque neighbourhood where the visitor will be able to feel the heartbeat of contemporary Venetian life. On this walk we discover Dorsoduro’s western side with its streets, alleys and squares – both large and small. We also see Veronese’s final painting and visit the Scuola Grande dei Carmini with its superb collection of works by Tiepolo.

The exterior of Saint Mark’s Basilica

Saint Mark'square - About 1h15

Saint Mark’s basilica is the quintessential symbol of the Venetian empire, and we offer two separate visits. This one takes you on a discovery tour of the exterior of the famous basilica, with descriptions of its style and its famous mosaics. A visit to the interior of the basilica is the object of a separate audioguided tour, which we encourage you to follow as well.

Inside Saint Mark's basilica

Saint Mark's square - About 2 hours

This visit is the logical extension of our tour of the exterior. The basilica is the incarnation of the maritime and commercial power that Venice represented. To discover its treasures is to evoke the history of the Venetian Republic and to contemplate the works of art, ornaments and mosaics that have graced the city state over the centuries. An indispensable visit!

Titian in the church of the Frari

San polo area - About 2h

This audio visit is dedicated to the Church of the Frari, certainly one of Venice's most important monuments. We will discover the history of the city when discovering the tombs of some of the major Doges and encounter works of the illustrious Titian.

The collections of the Accademia Museum

the eastern side of Dorsoduro - About 2h15

We have chosen the masterpieces in the Gallerie dell’Accademia that illustrate the richness of the great periods of Venetian painting. First of all, we discover the Venetian Gothic of the Veneziano brothers. Then we move on to the Renaissance with Bellini and Giorgione, and then on to the golden era of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, ending with Tiepolo's religious and theatrical works and the cityscapes of Canaletto and Guardi.
