data-start=\"549\" data-end=\"613\">Private Venice Walking Tour: Highlights and Hidden Corners with Valentina<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"286\" data-end=\"643\">This private Venice walking tour is designed for travellers who want to discover the real Venice beyond the crowded tourist paths, combining the city\u2019s highlights with quieter hidden corners.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"983\">During this walk through Venice, I will guide you through some of the city\u2019s most famous landmarks while also showing you quieter streets, hidden courtyards and local corners that most visitors never notice. Walking together means discovering not only the iconic monuments of Venice, but also understanding how the city truly lives today.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"698\">Meet Your Guide \u2013 Valentina<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1300\">I am a licensed local guide in Venice and I have been guiding visitors through the city for many years. I designed this itinerary to offer a balanced introduction to Venice \u2014 combining the main highlights with lesser-known places that reveal the authentic character of the city.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1462\">This itinerary was originally designed and developed by me, <strong data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1386\">Valentina Battocchio<\/strong>, and I have been guiding travellers through this experience since <strong data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1461\">2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1615\">Because this is a <strong data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1513\">private Venice walking tour<\/strong>, the experience can easily be adapted depending on your interests, pace and curiosity about the city.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"1114\">Couples visiting Venice often enjoy adding a special romantic experience to their stay, such as the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notonlyvenice.it\/en\/2023\/07\/12\/romantic-venice-private-tour-with-photoshoot\/\">Romantic Venice Photoshoot Tour<\/a>,<\/strong> a private experience that combines a guided walk through the city with a professional photoshoot in some of Venice\u2019s most beautiful locations.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1292\">A Private and Flexible Venice Walking Tour<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1463\">This experience is offered as a <strong data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1357\">private Venice walking tour<\/strong>, which means the itinerary can be adapted depending on your interests, pace and curiosity about the city.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1660\">While the route usually includes highlights such as Rialto Bridge and St Mark\u2019s Square, I can easily adjust the experience to focus more on hidden corners, local life or Venetian history.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"1114\">Discover Venice with a Local Guide<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1444\">The tour starts in beautiful <strong data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1163\">Campo San Polo<\/strong>, one of my favorite places in Venice. Even today, this large historic square is where Venetians meet friends, children play and locals live their daily life. I love starting here because it shows visitors the real atmosphere of Venice from the very first moment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1745\">From Campo San Polo, I will lead you into a quiet residential area, away from the main tourist crowds. Walking through peaceful calli and hidden courtyards, I will share stories about everyday Venetian life, local traditions and what it really means to live in a city built on water.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1745\">A Walk Through the Historic Heart of Venice<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1986\">The walk continues toward the historic <strong data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1808\">Rialto Market area<\/strong>, the commercial heart of Venice for more than 1,000 years. Here I will explain how trade shaped Venice and helped it become one of the most powerful cities in the world. During the tour, we will also see one of the earliest churches built in Venice.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2209\">You will then cross the iconic <strong data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2036\">Rialto Bridge<\/strong>, one of the most famous symbols of Venice. With me, you will discover hidden details and stories while enjoying one of the most beautiful views over the Grand Canal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2209\">Families travelling with children may also enjoy the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notonlyvenice.it\/en\/2025\/09\/30\/venice-family-tour\/\">Venice Family Tour<\/a>,<\/strong> a kid-friendly experience designed to discover the city through stories, small discoveries and engaging moments for younger travellers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2397\">Before reaching St Mark\u2019s, I will take you through lesser-known streets and hidden corners, showing you a more intimate and authentic side of Venice that most visitors never see.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2399\" data-end=\"2608\">The tour ends in the stunning <strong data-start=\"2429\" data-end=\"2449\">St Mark\u2019s Square<\/strong>, where I will explain how Venice became one of the greatest maritime republics in history and why this square is still the symbolic heart of the city.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2800\">This <strong data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1876\">private Venice walking tour with local guide<\/strong>\u00a0is perfect for travellers who want to see the main attractions while also discovering the authentic side of the city.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2800\"><strong>If you prefer booking through an international travel platform, you can also check availability for this<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viator.com\/tours\/Venice\/Venice-Highlights-and-Hidden-Gems-Private-Walking-Tour\/d522-5638959P1?m=58932&amp;nid=VR.65e2f240-4278-45f0-abf7-23784158512b.TA_EMAIL_ATTRSUP\">Venice walking tour on Viator.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"hkd5a4\" data-start=\"3434\" data-end=\"3462\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n<h4>Is this Venice walking tour suitable for first-time visitors?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3531\" data-end=\"3743\">Yes.
