With this <strong data-start=\"425\" data-end=\"455\">Secret Venice tour<\/strong>, Valentina will guide you to discover her favourite side of the city \u2014 an <strong data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"514\">authentic Venice,<\/strong> made of hidden corners, real local life and atmospheres far from the crowds. This is a true Venice off the beaten path experience, designed for travellers who want to see the city beyond the usual highlights.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"599\" data-end=\"902\">Before becoming a licensed tour guide, Valentina loved creating itineraries far from the usual tourist circuits, searching for hidden Venice spots and lesser-known corners of the city. Over time, she learned to know every secret street and quiet square. This tour was born from that passion: to show you a <strong data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"901\">more real, more intimate and surprising Venice, <\/strong>the one locals truly love.<\/p>\n<p

data-end=\"1143\">authentic local places<\/strong> with their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1199\" data-end=\"1469\">You can choose between an itinerary focused on the Dorsoduro district, to experience the daily local life of Venice, possibly including a visit to the oldest gondola boatyard in the city, or discover some of the <strong data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1468\">most secret places in Venice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1642\">During the tour you may visit fascinating locations such as Scala Contarini del Bovolo, Libreria Acqua Alta and other hidden corners that tell surprising stories.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1758\">This tour is designed for travellers who want to experience Venice from a <strong data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1721\">local perspective<\/strong>, far from the busiest tourist routes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2677\" data-end=\"2851\"><strong>What to Expect<\/strong><br data-start=\"2692\"
