Fernwayer's Walking Tours in Venice, Italy
Explore the enchanting canals, hidden alleyways, and rich artistic heritage of Venice with our curated Venice walking tours led by experienced private guides.
Venice invites you to slow down and look closer. With its shifting reflections, quiet courtyards, and layers of history, the city reveals itself best through carefully chosen experiences. Whether you're interested in glassblowing in Murano, lace-making in Burano, or walking through the islands of Giudecca and San Giorgio, each encounter offers a different rhythm and perspective.
There are also ways to explore the city’s most iconic landmarks—St Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Grand Canal—but without the usual group-tour format. Instead, a more curated approach opens the door to a deeper understanding of these places, with local hosts offering personal insight and lesser-known details.
Beyond the postcard views, neighborhoods like Dorsoduro and Cannaregio reveal the everyday life of Venice, between artisan workshops, small cafés, and unexpected architectural corners. Here, the city feels lived-in, surprising, and very much alive.
